Rick's reference to the life science connection is important as that area is driving the development of sCMOS chips. There are a number of sCMOS cameras already in production and use for microscopy and other science imaging requirements, such as Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy. The Andor Zyla has an apparent QE of 83%, with fast frame rates, USB3 connectivity. But I believe most of the current crop of sCMOS are fairly small sensors, with a max size of maybe 6 megapixels. I am happy for them to cover the development cost of the technology on the back of government, health, life science, and industry development budgets.
