pco.edge 4.2 CLHS

pco.edge 4.2 CLHS sCMOS Camera

The pco.edge 4.2 is a high resolution, cooled sCMOS camera that operates with streaming via a 10G FOL (Camera Link HS) to allow direct processing of large data transfers through its high-performance data interface making it easy to securely bridge distances of up to 10 km. The pco.edge 4.2 is equipped with a low noise 16-bit scientific CMOS sensor to ensure crisp images and precise measurements. The pco.edge 4.2 sCMOS camera also comes with an upgrade option to include a water cooling system.
