Prime BSI Express Overview
Sensitivity
The Prime BSI Express sCMOS camera has 95% quantum efficiency and low 1.0 e⁻ read noise for high sensitivity at over 40 frames per second. The combination of high signal collection and low noise results in excellent performance for low-light imaging.
Compact Form Factor
The Prime BSI Express is a compact 78 mm x 78 mm x 90 mm with optimized cooling for the size, ideal for integration into new or existing configurations.
Interface and Integrate
The Prime BSI Express has easy USB 3.2 Gen 2 connectivity and a standard PVCAM driver for quick, painless setup in software.
