PCO Tech pco.panda 4.2 C-USB-PCO Microscope Camera

PCO Tech pco.panda 4.2 C-USB-PCO Microscope Camera

The pco.panda 4.2 heralds the start of a new sCMOS camera generation. What exactly does that mean for you? Universal application options thanks to an ultra-compact camera housing! Power and fast data transfer occur via a single USB 3.1 cable. External power supplies are redundant.

You benefit from excellent image quality provided by the 16-bit sCMOS sensor with its high resolution and 6.5 x 6.5 μm² pixel size. High quantum efficiency and low readout noise are guaranteed.

Advantages of pco.panda 4.2 include flexible design with the latest sCMOS technology enabling you to use it in a wide range of applications.
