PCO.edge 4.2 sCMOS Microscope Camera with Cooled Monochrome Sensor and Camera Link Interface
Product Description
The PCO.edge 4.2 sCMOS Microscope Camera is a precision scientific imaging device designed for advanced microscopy applications including fluorescence, live-cell, and time-lapse imaging critical in biotechnology and molecular diagnostics. Featuring a 2048 x 2048 pixel cooled monochrome sensor with a 6.5 µm pixel pitch, this camera delivers exceptional spatial resolution and sensitivity. Its active cooling system stabilizes the sensor temperature at +5°C, minimizing thermal noise and preventing ice crystal formation, ensuring consistent image quality during long acquisitions.
Key technical features include:
- Extremely low readout noise of 0.8 e- median, optimizing image clarity in low-light and high-sensitivity fluorescence microscopy.
- Wide dynamic range of 33,000:1 and quantum efficiency reaching up to 82%, enhancing detection of weak signals essential for applications such as gene editing and synthetic biology imaging.
- Fast frame rates up to 100 frames per second at full resolution facilitate temporal resolution required in live-cell imaging and dynamic process observation.
- Supports Rolling Shutter and Light Sheet imaging modes, broadening applicability in cutting-edge biomedical engineering experiments and 3D microscopy techniques.
- Connectivity via Camera Link interface allows high-speed data transfer compatible with sophisticated microscopy setups and high-content screening platforms.
Included accessories support seamless integration into microscope systems:
- Microscope C-mount adapter
- i5 Desktop PC preloaded with pco.camware camera software and PCO image capture software
- Monitor, keyboard, mouse, and necessary communication and power cables for turnkey operation
Designed for robust use in research fields such as cellular biology, bioprocessing, and clinical diagnostics, this camera is widely adopted in synthetic biology research and molecular diagnostics workflows. Its ultra-compact housing (132 x 79.5 x 70 mm) and professional calibration make it a reliable instrument to support high-throughput biomanufacturing and drug discovery imaging pipelines.
This model undergoes thorough functional testing by experienced service teams to guarantee performance and longevity, including temperature stabilization, communication integrity checks, and extended live-feed evaluation to assure sensor quality and absence of defects.
Overall, the PCO.edge 4.2 sCMOS Microscope Camera is critical for researchers demanding high-fidelity, high-speed imaging with low noise for advanced microscopy applications in biotechnology, neuroscience, and biomedical engineering.
