pco.pixelfly 26 CLHS sCMOS Camera
The pco.pixelfly 26 CLHS is a high-performance industrial camera that combines the speed of the industry’s fastest data interface with a high-resolution sCMOS sensor, enabling the capture and transfer of large volumes of image data for immediate analysis. It offers high-resolution imaging (5120 × 5120 pixels, 18.1 mm sensor diagonal) and exceptional detail across a large field of view making it ideal for both scientific and industrial inspection applications. Featuring a True Charge Domain Global Shutter sensor with 2.5 μm pixels, the camera achieves extremely high detail even at medium magnification, with a pixel architecture minimizing parasitic light sensitivity.
Available in both monochrome and color sensor versions, the pco.pixelfly 26 CLHS combines high throughput with industrial-grade affordability and simplicity - delivering cutting-edge performance without the need for liquid cooling.
Offering full-resolution 5120 × 5120-pixel images at up to 29 fps, this compact camera sets a new benchmark for industrial and scientific imaging, combining speed and precision at a more affordable price point. This variant is air-cooled only, allowing for simplified integration and improved system reliability.
