pco.edge 26 USB sCMOS Camera
Excelitas pco.edge 26 USB sCMOS camera features a 5120 x 5120 pixel resolution with 2.5 x 2.5 µm pixel size to achieve highest spatial resolution critical for imaging in microscopy, quality control, high throughput screening, and other mesoscopic applications. The pco.edge 26 camera also offers optimal performance for microscopy imaging with low magnification. In addition, its true charge domain global shutter allows for an exceptionally low readout noise and dark current. Combined with its adjustable cooling feature, the pco.edge 26 allows extended exposure times of up to 60 seconds.
