If you are planning to use the camera on a microscope, there is also the size of the sensor to consider. The main ones are 1/3″, 1/2″, 2/3″ and 1″. The larger sized sensors generally cost more, but will give you better quality images since more light will fall onto the sensor. The other advantage of larger sensors, is that it will give you a bigger field of view. The sensor under 1″, will typically need additional optics in the microscope coupler, in order to get a similar field of view. The additional optics are never perfect, and sometimes cause vignetting/shading around the edges.

Light is both a wave and a particle. When observed as a particle, light is quantized, or digitalized. Pi Imaging's detection technology, based on single-photon avalanche diodes (SPADs) transforms light directly into a digital signal, thus not altering its original (digital) state.
This direct photon to digital transformation enables unprecedented image quality and detection speed. Our cutting-edge solutions offer unparalleled sensitivity and minimal noise, setting new standards in the industry.
SPAD Alpha is a photon-counting camera for high-speed imaging. The core of the camera is a SPAD image sensor with 1024×1024 pixels. Photon counting with up to 73’000 frames per second and zero readout noise is achieved. The global shutter enables nanosecond exposures with exposure shifts of 17 ps. The image sensor is optimized for low noise, with a typical dark count rate of less than 100 cps.
SPAD512 is a camera integrating a 512×512 SPAD image sensor. Up to 100,000 fps in 1-bit mode enable high-speed imaging (photon-counting). Fine time gating enables the study of time-varying samples.
A point detector built around a single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD) array with 23 or 93 pixels packed in a hexagonal configuration. This detector is a perfect complement for any confocal scanning microscope; it delivers individual photon time of arrivals and enables super-resolution microscopy.
SPAD 93 is a detector array with 93 hexagonally packed single-photon avalanche diodes (SPADs) with best-in-class performance. It features both the capability of direct photon-counting and photon-time tagging to enable a wide range of single-photon detection applications.
SPAD23 offers two distinct flavours with a spectral range peaking either in the green or the red. SPAD23G is a detector array with 23 hexagonally packed single-photon avalanche diodes (SPADs) with best-in-class performance in the green wavelengths (peaking at 520nm). SPAD23R is a detector with a 5×5 pixel array optimized for red wavelengths (peaking at 620nm). Both systems feature the capability of direct photon-counting and photon-time tagging to enable a wide range of single-photon detection applications.
SPADλ is a linear detector with a 320×1 SPAD array. It features single-photon detectors (SPADs) enabling both photon-counting and photon-time tagging. This arrangement is ideal for spectral detection applications. Thanks to microlenses and state-of-the-art production facilities, this detector offers high detection efficiency. The detector is capable of both time gating and time stamping for the ultimate control over time-varying signals of interest..
