PART/ 85108072201

pco.edge 5.5 CLHS sCMOS Camera

The pco.edge 5.5 is a high resolution cooled sCMOS camera utilizing a CLHS interface and 10G FOL (Camera Link HS) to allow direct processing of large data transfers via a computer making it easy to securely bridge distances of up to 10 km. This camera is equipped with a 16-bit scientific CMOS sensor for capturing crisp images and precise measurements. The pco.edge 5.5 camera also comes with an option to upgrade with a water cooling system.
