It is the Nikon Monochrome FX format (36x24mm) used in their DS-QI2 microscope camera.
4908x3264 pixels
7.3 micron
60,000e full well
2.2e Read noise
QE is 80% at 500nm (great for OIII, a bit weak at Ha)
We can only hope

G'day Bill,
The QE of that chip in the 657.3Nm range is way too low for recording Ha regions as Ha is not below that. No doubt ZWO and QHYCCD would be aware of many sensors, but right now, my guess is they're aiming for the Ha CCD market like the Nikon 810a has for its DSLR astro market. I use an 810a and swear by it. Can't wait to see the cooled CCD versions to come out.
