Scientific CMOS brings together a set of performance characteristics that Andor describes as a breakthrough for high fidelity, quantitative scientific measurement. Large field of view and high resolution come from multi-megapixel sensors, and none of that costs read noise, dynamic range or frame rate. Five platforms make up the series, among them two workhorse models: ZL41 Cell for life science researchers and ZL41 Wave for physical science researchers.

Andor's intensified camera series draws on CCD and sCMOS sensors together with gated image intensifier technology, combining rapid acquisition rates with ultra-high sensitivity down to single photon. Four platforms are offered: the iStar 320T for high resolution, nanosecond scale time-resolved spectroscopy, the 1024 x 1024 iStar 334T for time-resolved imaging, the high resolution iStar 340T for spectroscopy, and the USB 3.0 iStar sCMOS. Andor states the iStar sCMOS reaches frame rates at least 50% faster than competing CCD or interline platforms at equivalent pixel matrix size, while keeping intrinsically low noise.
The iKon slow scan CCD series applies thermoelectric cooling to -100 °C for very low noise, with back-illuminated photon collection across a broad spectral range and wide dynamic range. Its low maintenance design suits long exposure, low light work in astronomy and weak luminescence detection, and it is robust enough for remote observatories. A Fast Kinetics mode can also capture bursts of data with microsecond dynamics for quantum gas absorption experiments. Two models are offered, the 2048 x 2048 iKon-L 936 and the 1024 x 1024 iKon-M 934, with standard silicon and deep depletion sensor options for enhanced near infrared response.
iDus is Andor's compact spectroscopy detector line for low photon flux measurement with large dynamic range, covering the ultraviolet to near infrared with CCD models and the short wave infrared with InGaAs models. The CCD variants are published in 1024 x 128, 1024 x 256 and 2000 x 256 formats with 26 or 15 µm pixels, 95% peak QE and cooling to -100 °C with UltraVac. Two InGaAs versions extend coverage, the iDus InGaAs-1.7 across 1 to 1.7 µm and the iDus InGaAs-2.2 across 1.7 to 2.2 µm, both in 512 x 1 and 1024 x 1 formats with 25 or 50 µm pixels and cooling to -90 °C. Andor lists the current CCD models as iDus 401, iDus 416 and iDus 420.
