Powered by Biozpco.dicam C1 UHS Single-Channel Intensified Camera
The pco.dicam C1 Ultra-High Speed (UHS) is the first camera system to offer 18 mm image intensifier technology designed to harness the full power of the sCMOS sensor. Its unique optical coupling of an ultra-fast 18 mm image intensifier to a 16-bit sCMOS sensor via an efficient tandem lens enables single photon detection using unmatched exposure times down to 2.5 ns with a frame rate up to 143 fps at full 2.3 MPixel resolution.
Our pco.dicam C1 UHS features a 10G fiber optic data interface (Camera Link HS) to guarantee an uncompressed and secure data transfer. The latest standard of high-performance data interfaces makes it easy to bridge long distances even in challenging experimental environments via fiber optic cable.
The pco.dicam C1 UHS is built on proven technology of our established pco.dicam C1 platform. Leveraging more than three decades of developing intensified camera systems combined with our pioneering scientific CMOS expertise, our pco.dicam series offers high-performance in both image quality and optical gating.
