Introducing Marana-X

Features and Benefits

The Most Sensitive Back-illuminated sCMOS

From soft X-ray tomography to hyperspectral imaging the Marana-X combines the sensitivity,
speed, resolution and field of view to take on the most demanding imaging or spectroscopic
challenges.

Marana-X is Andor’s groundbreaking sCMOS platform tailored todirect EUV and soft X-ray applications. Hand crafted to deliver
market leading performance and versatility Marana-X reads out a4.2 Megapixel high resolution array in less than 50 milliseconds
while maintaining very low read noise; hundreds of times fasterthan similar resolution CCD detectors.

FeatureUp to 99% QE & lowest noise

Vacuum cooled to -45oC

4.2 Megapixel

The Marana-X-6 is the sensor of choice when rapid frame rates and high sensitivity isrequired. Featuring 2048 x 2048 6.5 µm pixel array the camera can access frame ratesof up to 74 fps and single line spectroscopic scans of up to 25,253 fps. The Marana-X-6
extracts the very best of the GSense 2020 BSI Pulsar sensor offering unparalleled low noise,sensitivity, cooling, speed, and dynamic range.

Very weak signals require lowest noise floor and longer exposures: Don’t be restricted by camera
thermal noise!
High pixel resolution, maintaining image clarity over an extended field of view.
The Marana-X incorporated the world’s first uncoated back-illuminated sCMOS sensor enabling
unparalleled EUV – soft X-ray detection.

Extended Dynamic Range(EDR) Mode

‘One snap quantification’ across the full dynamic range, capture high and low intensity images in thesame image.
Market leading quantitative accuracy over the whole signal range.

Fan and liquid cooling as
standard

Liquid cooling for maximum sensitivity.

USB 3.0 and CoaXPress
connectivity options

USB 3.0 provides flexibility. CoaXPress enables the highest speeds to capture the most dynamic
events, and EMP resistant data transfer.

On-head asymmetric binningand multi-track

On-board intelligence delivering spectroscopists-friendly spectra and multi-track data prior to transfer
through CoaXPress or USB interface. Upfront data size reduction and easier user data processing.

Selectable bit-depth up to32-bit

Preserve dynamic range in extensive on-head binning scenarios. User-selectable data bit depth to betransmitted over the camera interface, up to 32-bit.

Marana-X-6•16.5 μm pixels

Smaller pixels better suited to some optical systems.

Low Noise Mode

Further reduces read noise floor at expense of pixel well depth, while maintaining a fast frame rate.
Ideal when highest possible sensitivity is a priority.

High Speed Mode

Acquire images at high speeds of up to 74 fps in full frame 16-bit mode via CoaXPress! Boost speeds
even further using regions of interest.

NEW Marana-X-11•1

Key Features
Fast Sensor Readout

Extended Dynamic Range

Taking only 13.5 milliseconds (X-6, 74 fps) or42 milliseconds (X-11, 24 fps) per 16-bit full
frame readout, both Marana-X models are
ideal for the acquisition of large imaging data
sets such as tomography, in-situ transientphenomena imaging and matching the frame
rate requirements of the latest generation ofhigh repetition rate lasers.

Large pixel well-depth and an on-chip multi-amplifier
design means the whole photometric range, from thenoise floor up to the saturation limit, can be captured
within one image. The wide dynamic range iscomplemented by enhanced on-head intelligence todeliver linearity > 99.7%, for unparalleled quantitativeaccuracy of measurement across the full signal range.

Unparalleled Quantum Efficiency

Low Noise
The uniquely optimised sensors of the Marana-X
platform enable peak quantum efficiency
in the EUV/ soft X-ray regime of >99%. The
parallel readout architecture and innovative
pixel design also drives exceptionally low readnoise performance, <2 e-, whilst still achieving
maximum readout speed and full dynamicrange. Marana-X-6 additionally offers a further
low noise mode to achieve 1.2 e- noise at
reduced pixel well depth – ideal for extremely
low flux applications.

Our Marana-X models boast superior quantum efficiency in the EUV-1 keV energy range
compared to existing CCDs. The excellent quantum efficiency of Marana-X complements its
high-end sCMOS technology allowing the minimisation of experimental time and maximum
data throughput with of up to, a rapid, 74 fps full frame on 6.5 µm models. Additionally, thesensor quantum efficiency and lifetime of Marana-X has been fully characterised in a recent
scientific publication by Harada and coworkers.

Applications that involve frequent cycling of
mechanical shutters such as X-ray tomography,
require routine shutter replacements and associateddown time. The Marana-X platform offers onsensor Rolling Shutter thus overcomes the need formechanical shutters. Furthermore, this avoids theexposure gradient effects associated with that of aniris shutter.

Application Focus
Soft X-ray Water Window Tomography

Hyperspectral

Soft X-ray microscopy in the water window (~285535 eV) enables the unique imaging of intact cellular
samples in their near-native state to resolutions of
only a few 10 s of nm in detail. The excellent speed of
the Marana-X-6 combined with unparalleled quantum
efficiency in the 285-535 eV energy range makes
the Marana-X-6 the ideal camera for water window
tomography. This coupled with low read noise, large
field of view and lack of mechanical shutter enables
Marana-X-6 to collect high contrast data sets withminimal experimental downtime.

Marana-X is ideal for fast, high dynamic range spectral
imaging, either: (a) hyperspectral configurations(push-broom or otherwise), enabling full data cubes
to be rapidly acquired, or (b) high density multi-track
spectroscopy at fast spectral rates and/or very highdynamic range through image stacking.

Coherent Diffractive Imaging
Coherent diffractive imaging is a versatile phasecontrast microscopy technique that enables the2D or 3D high fidelity reconstruction of nanoscalestructures. Classically slow scan CCDs have beenused to capture diffracted X-rays to build large
3D datasets, The Marana-X platform offers astep change in CDI with frame rates up to 74 fps.
Marana-X is able to make the most of modern highflux X-ray sources and is able to operate in a 100%
duty cycle mode enabling parallel sensor readout
and exposure for 100% sensor detection time.

The unparalleled quantum efficiency
in the soft X-ray regime of Marana-X
makes it ideal for high harmonic

Best Practice Guidelines
Condensation

CSR Other flange options are available through our Customer Special Request process - please contact your•••It is strongly advised that the camera should not be used in a condensing atmosphere.
If used in a condensing atmosphere the sensor MUST be protected and the use of a cold finger is strongly
recommended.
When not in use, the sensor chamber should be covered and sealed.
Due to the exposed nature of the sensor, extreme care should be taken with the camera, as damage caneasily occur through mishandling or by contamination.
If the sensor becomes contaminated, due to accident or misuse, please contact Andor immediately foradvice on cleaning.

1. Figures are typical and target specifications and therefore subject to change.

Minimum Computer Requirements:• 3.0 GHz single core or 2.4 GHz dual or quadcore processor• 8 GB RAM• Hard drive: 850 MB/sec write speed
recommended for the data rate associatedwith the max. frame rates. 250 MB free harddisc to install software• USB 3.0 slot (or x4 PCIe slot for USB 3.0 card)• x8 PCIe slot for CXP PCle card
• Windows (8.1 and 10) or Linux2. Quantum efficiency as supplied by the sensor manufacturer.
3. Read noise measured at 0oC (Marana-X 4.2B-6).
4. Coolant temperature must be above dew point.
5. Linearity is measured from a plot of Signal vs. Exposure Time over the full dynamic range.
6. Software Exposure Events provide rapid software notification (SDK only) of the start and end ofacquisition.
7. Marana-X connects to your control PC using a USB 3.0 connection. This may also be referred to as
USB 3.1 (Gen 1). Andor provide a USB 3.0 card and cable, and recommend that these are used toensure optimum performance.
