data sheet pco. edge 3.1 USB

Product catalog summary

Specifications:
The pco.edge 3.1 USB is a scientific CMOS camera with a resolution of 3.1 MPixels, featuring a pixel size of 6.5 µm x 6.5 µm. It supports USB 3.0 interface and offers high dynamic range of 27,000:1. The camera operates at a high speed of 50 fps at full resolution (2048 x 1536 pixels) and maintains low noise levels at 1.1 electrons. It boasts a high quantum efficiency of over 60%.

Image Sensor:
The camera uses scientific CMOS (sCMOS) technology and is available in monochrome or color. It has a sensor size of 13.3 mm x 10.0 mm with a diagonal of 16.6 mm. The shutter type is rolling shutter with selectable readout modes including global/snapshot shutter and global reset-rolling readout. The modulation transfer function is theoretically maximized at 76.9 lp/mm.

Performance:
The camera's fullwell capacity is 30,000 e-, with readout noise typically at 1.1 med / 1.5 rms e- for RS/GR and 2.7 med / 2.9 rms e- for GS. The dynamic range is 27,000:1 for RS/GR and 11,000:1 for GS. The spectral range is 370 nm to 1100 nm, and dark current is less than 0.5 e-/pixel/s at +5 °C sensor temperature.

Technical Data:
The camera supports various frame rates depending on resolution, with a maximum of 164 fps at 640 x 480 resolution. The exposure time range varies with shutter type, and the dynamic range A/D is 16 bit. The pixel scan rate is 204.0 MHz for GS and 105.0 MHz for RS/GR, with a pixel data rate of 408.0 MPixel/s for GS and 210.0 MPixel/s for RS/GR. Binning options include x2 and x4.

Physical and Environmental Specifications:
The camera dimensions are 79.5 mm x 70 mm x 103 mm, weighing 900 g. It operates within a temperature range of +10 °C to +40 °C and a humidity range of 10% to 80% (non-condensing). The power supply requirement is 12 - 24 VDC, with a maximum power consumption of 21 W.

Applications:
The camera is suitable for a wide range of applications including microscopy, digital pathology, high-speed imaging, and more. It is compatible with various software development kits and can be integrated into different software applications.

Software and Ordering Information:
The camera is supported by pco.camware for full control and image acquisition. SDKs are available for multiple programming languages. The camera can be ordered in monochrome or color versions, with specific product codes provided.
