pco.edge 9.4 bi CLHS sCMOS Camera

The pco.edge 9.4 bi CLHS is our first sCMOS camera with photon counting capabilities for challenging and demanding microscope methods like Lightsheet Fluorescence Microscopy (LSFM) and Structured Illumination Microscopy (SIM). This sCMOS camera combines an extremely low readout noise of 0.3 e- with a quantum efficiency of up to 85% with a broad spectrum out to NIR. The sensor incorporates microlenses and a full pixel height deep trench isolation for crosstalk suppression, resulting in an excellent modulation transfer function. The camera provides a large image circle using a high-resolution 9.4MPixel image sensor with a square pixel size of 4.6µm. The camera is equipped with four CLHS FOL channels – all aligned in one compact plug – capable of transmitting up to 4.9 GByte/s.

With low readout noise values, the pco.edge 9.4 bi CLHS can capture light with photon counting sensitivity and use even the smallest signals to gain information about the imaged samples. With its image sensor diagonal of 21.6 mm the camera offers a large image circle suitable for a wide range of applications in microscopy. Due to its rectangular layout, the pco.edge 9.4 bi CLHS can also be used for two-color applications that use image splitters.
