pco.edge 3.1 USB Color/Monochrome Camera

Description

ResolutionThe pco.edge 3.1 USB camera is equipped with an innovative scientific CMOS sensor to achieve crisp images and precise measurements. This camera features a high-resolution of 2048 x 1536 pixels, high frame rates, best 16-bit dynamic range, selectable shutter variants and an optional color sensor. Furthermore, the pco.edge 3.1 features outstanding low read-out noise of 1.1 electrons median even at the maximum speed of 50 fps at full resolution for superior image quality.  Excelitas pco.edge series represents our high-end, cooled scientific CMOS (sCMOS) camera product portfolio with exceptional imaging capabilities for a broad range of applications. Our pco.edge cameras incorporate temperature-stabilized, high-performance sCMOS image sensors that provide extremely low readout noise, a wide dynamic range, high frame rates, and high resolution over a large field of view. In addition, these cameras are also available with optional features like low light mode, light-sheet scanning mode, or lens control which further increase camera performance for specific applications.  The pco.edge 3.1 offers both rolling and global shutter exposure modes for use in a wide range of applications. This entry level camera model offers a very attractive price-to-performance ratio. Due to the excellent low noise and the high fullwell capacity of the sCMOS image sensor an intra scene dynamic range of better than 27 000 : 1 is achieved. This pco.edge 3.1 USB camera provides an excellent homogeneous pixel response to light (PRNU, photo response non-uniformity) and an excellent homogeneous dark signal pixel behavior (DSNU, dark signal non-uniformity), which is achieved by a sophisticated electronic circuit technology and firmware algorithms.   Support for third-party capture and analysis with Micro-Manager and the camera is also available as a Monochrome version.
