Description

The ORCA-Quest is the world’s first camera to incorporate the qCMOS image sensor. The camera achieves the ultimate in quantitative imaging.  The qCMOS camera is an ultra-sensitive camera that combines extremely low noise performance with fast readout. The qCMOS camera is the first in the world to enable photon number resolving imaging, which accurately measures the number of photons, because the noise generated when converting light into a signal is lower than that generated by photons, the smallest unit of light.  The ultimate quantitative imaging with the qCMOS camera is expected to find applications in various fields, including quantum technology, astronomy, semiconductors, and life sciences.
