Thanks to its back-illuminated image sensor the pco.edge 10 bi LT of PCO comes with a quantum efficiency of up to 85% with broad spectrum out to NIR. The sensor incorporates microlenses and a full pixel height deep trench isolation for crosstalk suppression resulting in an excellent MTF. The camera provides a large image circle by using a high-resolution 10.46 MP image sensor with a square pixel size of 4.6 um. A low dark current and a readout noise of 1.3 (@120fps) electrons is achieved by thermal stabilization and active cooling of the sensor. The sensor technology enables reduction of the noise peak and tail in the noise distribution histogram, . Together with a high full well capacity, this leads to a dynamic range of 15,385:1. The camera offers frame rates of up to 120 fps via a CLHS.
Right for the Job
In industries such as food and beverage, printing and packaging, steel, and pharmaceutical – where materials moving at high speed must be inspected for quality assurance – ultra-high speeds and image quality are required. To help with these requirements, cameras have seen significant developments in recent years, including the introduction of 10GigE, 25GigE, and now 100GigE line scan cameras by Emergent Vision.
