ChemiMOS is a cooled CMOS camera designed from the ground up to be ideally suited for integration into scientific  systems requiring long exposure images. Hours of exposure time has previously only been available with CCD technology, but is now possible with ChemiMOS due to the zero-amp glow and low-noise design. This latest  generation of CMOS technology will be available for the foreseeable future, ensuring long-term, supply chain stability. Benefits include very low read noise and deep pixel full well, allowing for unprecedented dynamic range.

Cooling is optimised to minimise the dark current, without the need for extreme temperatures, which could complicate the end user design. Calibration routines such as dark frame subtraction and off-camera image processing are included, meaning flexibility and transparency when operating the camera. There is no down time for recalibration as the sensor characteristics change over time.
