The quantitative phase imaging camera uses sCMOS sensor technology to capture both phase shift and intensity values from a specimen in a single image acquisition, enabling true quantitative phase imaging (QPI) without labels or staining. This is achieved using Phasics’ patented wavefront sensing techniques that measure the optical path difference created when light passes through or reflects off a transparent sample. The system operates across a broad visible to near-infrared spectral range, delivering high sensitivity with low noise and rapid frame rates. Its compact design and USB3.0 interface make it easy to connect to microscopes, workstations, and imaging setups for both scientific research and industrial metrology.

Advanced sCMOS Sensor Technology

Equipped with a scientific CMOS sensor, this camera combines low noise, high quantum efficiency, and fast frame rates, ideal for high-resolution imaging and dynamic phase measurement.

Single-Shot Phase and Intensity Capture

Simultaneously records precise phase and intensity data in one frame, enabling accurate and artefact-free quantitative phase imaging without the need for multiple exposures.

Sub-Nanometric Phase Sensitivity

Capable of resolving optical path differences with sub-nanometric accuracy (< 2 nm RMS), making it suitable for detailed thickness or refractive index mapping in transparent samples. phasics.com

Plug-and-Play Integration

Compact form factor and standard interfaces (USB3.0, C-mount) simplify integration with existing optical microscopes or imaging systems without complex setup.

Broad Spectral Range

Operates over a 400–1050 nm wavelength range, supporting flexibility in illumination and compatibility with various contrast methods.
