sCMOS camera - pco.edge 5.5

sCMOS scientific camera - pco.edge 5.5

The pco.edge 5.5 is equipped with an innovative scientific CMOS sensor providing crisp images and precise measurements. It can be optionally upgraded with a water cooling system.

The pco.edge 5.5 camera system is designed for users who require high resolution, high frame rates, best 16 bit dynamic range, selectable shutter variants and optionally a color sensor.

Camera Link HS guarantees uncompressed and secure data transfer. The latest standard of high-performance data interfaces enables the bridging of long distances via fiber optic cable.
