Step into a new realm of imaging with the pco.edge 4.2 bi sCMOS camera! This powerhouse combines cutting-edge back-illuminated technology with extraordinary quantum efficiency—up to 95%! Tailored for high-quality performance, it captures every detail with a stunning 2048 x 2048 pixel resolution.
The pco.edge 4.2 bi is compact, but it doesn’t compromise on quality. Each 6.5 μm pixel is engineered for excellence. Thanks to its versatile cooling system, you can chill the sensor down to an impressive -25 °C—dramatically reducing dark current to just 0.2 e-/pixel/s. Whether your focus is UV or VIS wavelengths, this camera adapts effortlessly, making it the perfect tool for your advanced imaging needs! Dive into precision and reliability like never before.
The pco.edge 4.2 bi scientific camera provides excellent quantum efficiency combined with a high frame rate at 4.2 Megapixel resolution. This camera features a powerful USB 3.1 interface to continuously stream image data with full 16-bit dynamic range. Furthermore, the pco.edge 4.2 bi sCMOS camera includes sealed electronics to prevent dirt or dust from entering the camera.
