Revisiting Gen I- and Gen II-sCMOS Cameras for Live-Cell Fluorescence Imaging - Global Shutter vs Rolling Shutter -

The sCMOS (Scientific CMOS) camera contains multiple transistors within a single pixel and the number of these transistors determines the camera function and performance. Generation I (Gen I) sCMOS cameras employ a 5-transistor structure to achieve global shutter operation (described later on). Gen II-sCMOS camera features of high quantum efficiency and low readout noise demonstrate that the rolling shutter provides live-cell fluorescence imaging with excellent signal-to-noise image quality.
