The pco.edge 10 bi LT is our next-level sCMOS camera with new imaging performance. With a back-illuminated image sensor, the pco.edge 10 bi LT provides a quantum efficiency of up to 85 % with a broad spectrum extending to NIR. The sensor incorporates microlenses and a full-depth deep-trench isolation for crosstalk suppression resulting in an excellent MTF. Furthermore, the camera provides a large image circle by using a high-resolution 10.46 MPixel image sensor with a square pixel size of 4.6 μm.
The pco.edge 10 bi LT CLHS sCMOS camera’s extremely low dark current and a readout noise of 1.3 e- (@ 122 fps) electrons are achieved by thermal stabilization and active cooling of the image sensor. Moreover, the sensor technology enables reduction of the noise peak and tail in the noise distribution histogram, making it comparable to the noise behavior of CCD sensors. Together with a high full well capacity, this leads to a dynamic range of 15,385:1. Furthermore, this camera offers a high frame rate of
122 fps and transmission via a CLHS fiber-optic link. All these features make the pco.edge 10 bi LT an excellent choice for applications in microscopy, life science, and physical science.
