pco.ultraviolet

Product catalog summary

Overview: The PCO Ultraviolet is a digital 14-bit CCD camera designed for scientific applications, offering low noise and high resolution. It features a 1.4 megapixel sensor with superior flat field UV quantum efficiency of 40%.

Specifications: The camera has a maximum frame rate of 7.3 fps in normal mode and 11.7 fps in center mode, with an exposure/shutter time ranging from 1 µs to 60 s. It supports a dynamic range of 14-bit A/D conversion, with a conversion factor of 0.8 e-/count and 1.4 e-/count in binning mode. The pixel scan rate is 12 MHz, and it supports binning from 1x1 to 4x4. Non-linearity is less than 1%, and smear is less than 0.005%.

Technical Data: The camera uses an interline CCD image sensor with a resolution of 1392 x 1040 pixels (normal) and 800 x 600 pixels (center ROI). The pixel size is 4.65 µm x 4.65 µm, and the sensor format is 1/2” with an 8 mm diagonal. It features a global shutter mode and a fullwell capacity of 14,000 e- (24,000 e- in binning). The readout noise ranges from 7 to 9 e- rms, and the dynamic range is 1,750:1 (65 dB) or 3,000:1 (69.5 dB) in binning mode. The spectral range is 190 nm to 1100 nm, with a dark current of 2 e-/pixel/s at 25°C.

General Features: The camera is housed in an ultra-compact design, weighing 0.35 kg, with a power consumption of less than 3 W. It operates within a temperature range of +10°C to +35°C and a humidity range of 10% to 80% (non-condensing). The optical interface is C-mount, and it is CE certified.

Software: PCO provides Camware software for camera control, image acquisition, and archiving. A camera SDK is available for user customization and integration on PC platforms.

Applications: The camera is suitable for various applications, including UV detection, hyperspectral imaging, wafer and mask inspection, scientific imaging, low light level imaging, combustion imaging, high-resolution microscopy, machine vision, industrial applications, spectroscopy, and material testing.

Contact Information: PCO AG is based in Kelheim, Germany, with additional offices in the USA and Asia. Contact details are provided for each region.
