Unleash the power of precision with the pco.edge 4.2 bi UV! This camera delivers breathtaking 2048 x 2048 pixel resolution, perfect for capturing every detail in stunning clarity. Built on the rock-solid pco.edge series, it's designed to meet the demands of the most exacting scientific applications.
Meet the cutting-edge sCMOS sensor with a highly sensitive input window, optimized for the UV range and achieving a remarkable 90% quantum efficiency! With 6.5 x 6.5 μm² pixels, you'll experience crisp, high-quality images even in the most challenging lighting conditions. The result is unparalleled precision, giving you the confidence to push the boundaries of your research.
The pco.edge 4.2 bi UV USB sCMOS camera offers an adjustable cooling system with the option to use air or water to cool the sensor down to -25 °C thus, reducing the dark current to 0.2 e-/pixel/s. It also incorporates a powerful USB 3.1 interface complementing its high performance.
