Excelitas pco.edge 6.2 LE long exposure sCMOS camera

The Excelitas pco.edge 6.2 LE sCMOS camera is considered the successor of deep-cooled CCD, long exposure cameras. The design is optimised to realise long exposure times from milliseconds to minutes or even up to one hour. Together with a high full well capacity and a wide range of exposure times, it is suitable for a broad field of low-light imaging applications like fluorescence, chemiluminescence or astronomy.

The monochrome image sensor offers high resolution of 6.2 MP and is thermally stabilised at low temperatures down to -20°C in order to reduce the dark current to a minimum. The cooling method is thermo-electrical cooling in combination with forced air (fan) and water cooling (optional).

Other features include a wide exposure time range of 1 ms up to 3600 s; low dark current of 0.3 e-/pixel/s; high resolution of 2496 x 2496 pixels; pixel size of 5 x 5 µm; no glow modification; peak quantum efficiency of 63% @ 500 nm and true charge domain global shutter; parasitic light sensitivity of 1:10,000; high intra-scene dynamic range of 70 dB; and single-cable connectivity (power and data) via USB 3.1 Gen 1.
