A scientific camera is essential for any imaging system. These cameras are designed to quantitatively measure how many photons hit the camera sensor and in which location. The visible light range scientific camera market, by type, has been segmented into sCMOS, sCMOS (Backthinned), CCD, CCD (Backthinned), and EM-CCD cameras.


The different cameras and their various architectures have inherent strengths and weaknesses and these are covered in depth in this chapter. The spectral response of a camera refers to the detected signal response as a function of the wavelength of light.


The visible light range scientific camera market is projected to reach USD 0.6 billion by 2028 from USD 0.4 billion in 2023; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.9% from 2023 to 2028.

3D image sensors are susceptible to dust, microparticles, impurities, and shocks. A slight disturbance can cause a significant decrease in the quality of an image. Hence, these 3D sensors require special care. Technologies such as 3D depth sensing, 4K pixel, and ultra-HD cameras are costlier than the CCD and CMOS image sensor camera technologies. This limits the deployment of cameras to select places across a production/assembly line. The cost of these cameras has reduced significantly over the last few years; however, it is not low enough to attract small-scale companies.


The availability of refurbished scientific medical camera products is a significant challenge to the growth of the market. Many end users (mainly small and medium-sized hospitals, ASCs (ambulatory surgery centers), and specialty clinics) look for cost-effectiveness and opt for refurbished systems, particularly in price-sensitive markets in developing countries. A few companies offering refurbished scientific medical cameras include Golden Nimbus International (India), Medicure Surgical Equipment (India), and Bimedis LLC (US). Considering these factors, the demand for refurbished scientific medical cameras is expected to increase in the coming years. These systems offer the same functionalities as new equipment but at lower costs. Therefore, introducing refurbished products in the market could hamper the growth of a company offering new scientific medical cameras, challenging overall market growth.
