pco.edge 5.5 (10G FOL)
groundbreaking sCMOS technology for outstanding image quality

The pco.edge 5.5 operates with streaming via a 10G FOL (Camera Link HS). It allows you direct processing of large data transfers on your computer. This high-performance data interface makes it easy to securely bridge distances of more than 10 km.

It is equipped with a 16 bit scientific CMOS sensor for crisp images and precise measurements. In addition, you can upgrade the camera with a water cooling system.

If you require high resolution, high frame rates, selectable shutter variants and optionally a color sensor, the pco.edge 5.5 is just your solution.

Fluor. Microscopy DNA Micro Arrays

Microarrays are versatile tools for high throughput screening. Nevertheless they are severely limited. Therefore the idea arose why not to copy microarrays? Why not make DNA, RNA and protein microarrays as high quality copies of a high quality original? It worked fine for text books and images. So why not apply it for DNA? Why not build a biomolecule copying machine? A biomolecule xeroxer?

Modular Wafer Inspection

Silicon carbide (SiC) is a wide bandgap semiconductor, which is especially used for high-power, high-temperature and high-frequency devices due to its high energy efficiency. Despite great improvements in the material quality of SiC substrates and epitaxial wafers within the last years, critical defects like stacking faults (SFs) and basal plane dislocations (BPDs) can still lead to bipolar degradation and finally to complete failure of the device.

Time-Lapse 3-D Measurements

Light sheet fluorescence microscopy has previously been demonstrated on a commercially available inverted fluorescence microscope frame using the method of oblique plane microscopy (OPM). In this paper, OPM is adapted to allow time-lapse 3-D imaging of 3-D biological cultures in commercially available glass-bottomed 96-well plates using a stage-scanning OPM approach (ssOPM).
