Introduction

This manual provides an overview of the Sona and Marana camera series. The Sona and Marana feature the latest back-illuminated sCMOS sensor technology for an exceptional sensitivity, speed and field of view. This makes it particularly suitable for demanding applications - Sona for life science imaging: such as live-cell imaging, embryo imaging; Marana for physical science imaging: such as space debris tracking and occultations. This manual includes a description of the main features of the cameras, their installation, routine operation and troubleshooting. It also provides a summary of some of the technical features of the Sona and Marana back-illuminated sCMOS camera series. For further information on operation and control of the camera refer to the relevant software guide e.g. Solis, and to the andor website for further technical information to help you get the best from your camera.
