ultra compact global shutter sCMOS camera

Product catalog summary

Overview: The Panda 26 is an ultra-compact global shutter sCMOS camera designed for high-resolution imaging applications. It features a dust-protected housing and is available in both monochrome and color versions.

Specifications: The camera offers a high resolution of 5120 x 5120 pixels with a pixel size of 2.5 µm x 2.5 µm. It utilizes a scientific CMOS (sCMOS) sensor with a global shutter mode. The sensor format is 12.8 mm x 12.8 mm with a diagonal of 18.1 mm. The camera supports a maximum frame rate of 6 fps at full resolution and offers various frame rates for different resolutions.

Performance: The camera has a full well capacity of 4,500 e-, a typical readout noise of 2.3 med e- / 2.5 rms e-, and a dynamic range of 66 dB. It operates within a spectral range of 320 nm to 1000 nm and has a quantum efficiency of 65%. The dark current is 3 e-/pixel/s at 21°C ambient temperature.

Design and Connectivity: The Panda 26 features a single cable solution for data and power supply via USB 3.1. It is passively cooled and has a power consumption of approximately 4.5 W. The camera is lightweight at 600 g and operates within a temperature range of +10°C to +40°C.

Applications: This camera is suitable for various applications including brightfield microscopy, fluorescence microscopy, digital pathology, mesoscopy, high-speed bright field ratio imaging, high throughput screening, biochip reading, spinning disk confocal microscopy, 3D metrology, and industrial quality inspection.

Software and Integration: The camera is compatible with pco.camware for controlling camera settings and image acquisition. The pco.sdk provides a software development kit for customization and integration on Windows-PC platforms. Drivers for third-party software packages are also available.
