pco.edge 5.5 DS CLHS sCMOS Camera
The pco.edge 5.5 DS CLHS camera features a high resolution of 5.5 MPixel and operates in 16-bit mode for precise imaging. Its double shutter mode enables an interframing time of just 100 ns, ideal for capturing fast dynamic processes. This advanced camera is perfect for applications requiring exceptional detail and speed, such as in Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) applications.
