pco.edge 4.2 | scientific CMOS camera features Selectable rolling shutter operation modes of pco.edge cameras. rolling shutter readout modes - optimized for synchronization of microscopes and scanning applications All pco.edge sCMOS cameras from the beginning feature a variety of precise synchronization modes, which are optimized for advanced microscopy imaging and scanning. The flexible frame and line triggers with very low latency in combination with the free selectable readout modes can easily be combined to cover every modern microscopy situation to name a few: n n n n For example, one...

pco.edge 4.2 | scientific CMOS camera features free of drift The pco.edge sCMOS cameras feature temperature stabilized Peltier cooling, allowing for continuous operation free of drift phenomena in image sequences capture. This is achieved by the proper selection and sophisticated combination of electronics and FPGA algorithms. As the measurement result shows while running at full speed of 100 frames/s over 4 hours measuring time the camera doesn’t show any significant drift (figure on the right side). This degree of stability enables long-term measuring series, which should be...

pco.edge 4.2 | scientific CMOS camera features readout noise in sCMOS The EMVA 1288 standard explains that in principle for each pixel in an image sensor the noise behavior is determined by recording many images and calculating the time dependent variation or deviation of each pixel from its mean value. This is the determination of the root mean square (rms) value for each pixel. Since the widely used CCD image sensors don’t have a separate output stage for each pixel, the variation of the noise between each pixel is minimal. Therefore, instead of measuring many images, it is sufficient to...

pco.edge 4.2 | scientific CMOS camera features superior image quality The pco.edge sCMOS camera features outstanding low read out noise. Even at maximum speed of 100 frames/s at full resolution of 2048 x 2048 pixel the noise is 0.9 e- med. Moreover the pco.edge provides an excellent homogeneous pixel response to light (PRNU, photo response non-uniformity) and an excellent homogeneous dark signal pixel behaviour (DSNU, dark signal non-uniformity), which is achieved by a sophisticated electronic circuit technology and firmware algorithms. The lower figure shows a comparison of a scientific...

pco.edge 4.2 | scientific CMOS camera features high resolution A 4.2 Mpixel resolution in combination with a moderate chip size (18.8 mm diagonal, 6.5 μm pixel pitch) benefits microscopy applications with low magnification factor and large field of view, thereby reducing processing times and increasing throughput. The figure compares the potential of the new field of view of the pco.edge to the 1.3 Mpixel image resolution which is widely used in microscopy applications for scientific cameras. The two images show in comparison the field of view with sCMOS resolution vs. a 1.3 Mpixel...
