Product catalog summary

Technical Specifications
The Edge 4.2 sCMOS camera features a high dynamic range of 37,500:1 and a quantum efficiency of up to 82%. It offers a high resolution of 2048 x 2048 pixels with low noise levels at 0.8 electrons. The camera supports high-speed imaging at 100 frames per second (fps) and interfaces via USB 3.0, Camera Link, and 10G FOL. It is designed for lightsheet and scanning modes with a compact form factor.

Sensor and Performance
The camera uses a scientific CMOS (sCMOS) monochrome sensor with a pixel size of 6.5 µm x 6.5 µm. It operates in a rolling shutter mode with selectable readout modes and a global reset-rolling readout option. The fullwell capacity is 30,000 electrons, and the readout noise varies slightly between slow and fast scans. The dynamic range is 91.5 dB in slow scan mode, and the quantum efficiency covers a spectral range from 300 nm to 1100 nm.

Cooling and Power
The camera offers cooling options with Peltier and forced air or water cooling, maintaining sensor temperatures at 7°C, 5°C, or 0°C. Power delivery is 24 VDC with a maximum consumption of 32 W.

Interfaces and Connectivity
Interfaces include Camera Link HS, 10G FOL, and USB 3.0. The camera supports various trigger input and output signals and includes a time stamp feature with 1 µs resolution.

Applications
The Edge 4.2 is suitable for applications such as brightfield and fluorescence microscopy, digital pathology, single molecule localization microscopy, lightsheet fluorescence microscopy, calcium imaging, and more.

Software and Integration
The camera is controlled via pco.camware software, with a software development kit (SDK) available for customization. Drivers for third-party software are also provided.

Dimensions and Weight
The camera's dimensions vary slightly depending on the cooling method, with weights ranging from 720 g to 1100 g. It supports C-mount and F-mount lens adapters.

Certifications and Contact Information
The camera is CE/FCC certified and manufactured by PCO AG, with contact points in Europe, America, Asia, and China.
