1. INTRODUCTION
Advantages of the pco.dicam
After more than 30 years of experience with image intensified
cameras, we are proud to introduce the new pco.dicam C1 and
pco.dicam C4.
The pco.dicam is the first camera system with image intensifier
technology that harnesses the full power of the sCMOS sensor.
Unique is the optical connection of the high-resolution 25 mm image
intensifier to the 16 bit sCMOS sensor via an efficient tandem lens.
Individual photons are detected using the shortest exposure times.
10G fibre optic data interface (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.
Main Features
• intensified sCMOS technology
•
exposure times down to 4 ns
•
double shutter mode with 300 ns / 500 ns interframing time
(depending on your pco.dicam)
•
optical coupling via ultra-speed tandem lens
•
up to 3.4 GByte/s with 4 x 10 G fibre optic data interface
(Camera Link HS) (pco.dicam C4)
•
2048 x 2048 pixels
1.1 INTENDED USE
This camera system is designed for use by technicians, engineers
and scientists. It is a scientific measuring instrument, which provides
images. The camera may only be used according to the instructions
of this manual. Provisions, limitations and operating conditions stated
in this manual must be respected. Unauthorized modifications and
alterations of the device are forbidden for safety reasons.
1.2 FORESEEABLE MISSUSE
•
To avoid damages or loss of quality, the camera should not be
operated with a too high light input
→
A few milliseconds or even
microseconds may be sufficient to damage the photocathode if
the light source is powerful enough.
•
Do not open lens cap during day light or with external light
source!
•
If damaged, a complete replacement of the image intensifier is
necessary (very expensive)
• Read the safety instructions for use of image intensifier
