intensified 16 bit sCMOS camera intensified sCMOS technolo' 2048 x 2048 pixel

After more than 30 years of experience with image intensified cameras, we are proud to introduce the new pco.dicam C8 to you. The pco.dicam C8 is the next member of the multi-channel intensified camera series that exploits the full performance inherent to scientific CMOS sensor technology. With its high-end optical beam splitters you are able to equally distribute the input light to the 8 image intensifiers. They are coupled with the pco.dicam C1 proven tandem lenses to the 16 bit 4.2 MPixel sCMOS sensor. It is the most flexible configuration of 16 individual exposure times and their...

camera components overview top view front part with tandem lens system and beam splitter prisms from the single input (top) to the 8 image intensifiers (bottom) A collimator lens generates bundles of parallel rays with focus infinity. A double prism redirects 50 % of the input light to the lower level of channels 5 - 8. In both levels 3 double prisms provide a 50:50 beam distribution under a 90º angle. Single prisms act as 99.9 % reflection mirrors. Spectral filters can be mounted individually for each of the 8 light channels (CH1, CH2, CH3, CH4, CH5, CH6, CH7, CH8). The imaging lenses of...

There is no “waste“ of valuable intensifier area. As a consequence the four corners of the sCMOS sensor remain black. For a fast scan of just a few vertically centered lines - the camera module allows you to achieve more than 56,000 fps for such a ROI - the full line length of 2048 pixels is available....

frame rates Due to the special 8 channel design of the pco.dicam C8 and the flexible timing possibilities, extremely high burst frame repetition rates are feasible. In single image mode you can record sequences of 8 ultra fast images and in double image mode sequences of 16 ultra fast images. Examples for such extreme frame repetition rates are given below. single image mode 8 images of 4 ns exposure time with 0 ns interframing time: 250,000,000 fps This 8 image sequence can be repeated every 9.6 ms 16 images of 20 ns exposure time with 20 ns interframing time: 25,000,000 fps This 16 image...
