pco.edge 5.5

The new pco.edge 5.5 is a breakthrough in scientific imaging cameras, due to its distinctive ability to simultaneously deliver extremely low noise, good frame rates, wide dynamic range, high quantum efficiency, high resolution and large field of view - all in one image.

Have a look to the new sCMOS brochure to get more insight about the benefits of the sCMOS technology.
