Top feature – Low light mode
When the low light mode is activated, both the high and low gain A/D converter are used as high gain, which means they digitize low intensity pixel values only. The signal within each pixel is simultaneously digitized by two separate A/D conversion units and added up, which is referred to as correlated multi sampling (CMS). This correlation causes a major reduction of the readout noise, though the usable intrascene dynamic range of the sensor is reduced.
Top feature – Lightsheet scanning mode
The PCO lightsheet scanning mode is a special readout mode dedicated to lightsheet microscopy. It is based on the rolling shutter mode in which the readout direction of the sensor is from top to bottom. The standard line time value is 12 μs and it can be set from this camera-specific line time up to 2 ms. Compared to the standard operation mode, the lightsheet scanning mode enables the selection of the parameters “Line Time” and “Exposure Lines”. This guarantees an optimized synchronization to an existing lightsheet setup which has no selectable speed or timing. It is possible to set a delay prior to the exposure start (“delay lines”). For more information on the corresponding SDK functions, please read our pco.sdk instruction manual.
pco.edge series
The pco.edge series represents the high-end cameras within PCO‘s scientific CMOS (sCMOS) camera product portfolio. They provide significant benefits in a broad field of applications due to unprecedented imaging capabilities. The pco.edge cameras are based on temperature-stabilized, high-performance sCMOS image sensors enabling an extremely low readout noise, wide dynamic range, high frame rates and resolution over a large field of view. pco.edge cameras are available with versatile optional features like low light mode or lightsheet scanning mode which even increase the cameras’ performance for dedicated applications.

Top feature – Camera Link HS
Several standardized protocols are available, and Camera Link HS is one of the leaders in speed, reliability, and bandwidth. Camera Link High Speed (Camera Link HS or CLHS) is a mature and robust interface standard for industrial cameras and systems. It evolved from Camera Link, the vision industry’s first standard camera interface protocol. Camera Link HS is poised to provide significantly expanded capability in upcoming releases, with changes that promise to make it the standout choice for camera interfacing.

High performance through optimized mechanics
The pco.edge series comes in a sophisticated mechanical housing. An optimized cooling concept makes it possible to thermally stabilize the sensor at low temperatures. This ensures a neglectable low dark current and thus an increase in image quality. The cooling takes place either by means of an external water cooling, by an optimized air flow within the camera, or both. A special design of the cooling system protects the sensor from vibrations and guarantees unimpaired imaging performance.
