pco releases new intensified sCMOS series: pco.dicam C1 & C4

After more than 30 years of experience with image intensified cameras, we are proud to introduce the new pco.dicam series.

The pco.dicam C1 is the first camera system with image intensifier technology that harnesses the full power of the sCMOS sensor. Unique is the optical connection of the high-resolution 25 mm image intensifier to the 16 bit sCMOS sensor via an efficient tandem lens.

pco.dicam C4 means four high-resolution image intensifiers in a fully integrated 4-channel camera system. The optical path equally distributes the incident light from a single optical input to multiple modules. Each is capable of detecting very few photons with nanosecond time resolution.

In addition to the optical image quality and the low-light capabilities, the pure optical interface Camera Link HS breaks with the limitations of other camera interface standards such as copper-based Camera Link, Ethernet or USB.
