Excelitas Technologies pco.edge 9.4 bi CLHS sCMOS camera

Click2Contact

The pco.edge 9.4 bi CLHS, from Excelitas Technologies, is a suitable camera for advanced imaging applications in microscopy, life sciences and physical sciences, such as lightsheet fluorescence microscopy (LSFM/SPIM), structured illumination microscopy (SIM), confocal spinning disk microscopy, and dual-image acquisition for spectral analysis, HDR imaging and polarisation studies.

The camera combines high image quality, photon-counting sensitivity, and a large image circle to deliver ultralow readout noise, high resolution and good modulation transfer function (MTF), as it incorporates microlenses and a full pixel height deep trench isolation for crosstalk suppression.

Further, the camera provides a large image circle of 21.6 mm by using a high-resolution 9.4 MP image sensor with a square pixel size of 4.6 µm optimised for lower magnifications and detailed imaging. It is equipped with CLHS Fiber Optic Link channels which are all aligned in one compact plug and capable of transmitting up to 4.9 GBps.

Key specifications and features include good photon counting performance enabled by readout noise <0.3 e⁻ and a high quantum efficiency of up to 85%. Dual image recording is possible as the camera captures two square images side by side, supporting image splitting for spectral, HDR or polarisation-based applications.
