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, high frame rates, wide dynamic range, high quantum
efficiency, high resolution and a large field of view - all in one image.
The camera’s main features (model-specific)
• ultra low noise down to 0.8
med
electrons
• high resolution up to 5.5 megapixel
• best dynamic range up to 40000:1
• high-speed 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
