1. INTRODUCTION
Advantages of the pco.edge family
The pco.edge family is a breakthrough in scientific imaging cameras.
It has the distinctive ability to simultaneously deliver extremely low
noise, , wide dynamic range, high quantum efficiency, high resolution
and a large field of view - all in one image and at high frame rates.
Main Features (model-specific)
•
ultra low readout noise: down to 0.8 e
-
med
•
high resolution: up to 5.5 Megapixel
•
best dynamic range: up to 40000:1
• high-speed frame rates: up to 100 fps @ full resolution
•
high quantum efficiency: up to 80%
•
flexibility: user selectable choice of shutter mode
•
free of drift: stabilized Peltier cooling in order to avoid any drift
phenomena in image sequences
