Excelitas Technologies debuts pco.flim X camera system for life science and metrology applications

25 June 2024

The pco.flim X Camera System has been unveiled by photonics technology developer Excelitas Technologies Corporation as the successor to its pco.flim camera offering.

The easy-to-use pco.flim X frequency domain (FD) fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM) camera system offers simplified setup with the highest resolution and fastest frame rate for the highest-qualitySource: Excelitas Technologies CorporationSource: Excelitas Technologies Corporation fluorescence lifetime images in life science and metrology applications.

With its 1008 x 1008 pixel resolution, the pco.flim X reads out 45 double images/s at a maximum and can be used for a modulation frequency range of 5 kHz to 40 MHz. The enhanced FLIM camera system also includes improved cooling image sensor, which achieves -5° C with forced air cooling and -20° C image sensor temperature with water cooling. All of this reduces the readout noise level below 15 [e-] and extends the usable exposure times to 4s compared to the previous 2s achievable with the original pco.flim.

The pco.flim X can measure fluorescence lifetimes from 1 ns to 100 µs, making it ideal for advanced microscopy methods and techniques including:

  • Lightsheet fluorescence microscopy
  • Whole slide scanning
  • Confocal spinning-disk microscopy
  • Solar cell manufacturing (perovskite)
  • Pathology
  • FRET bio sensors
  • Plastic detection in environment
