TUCSEN FL9BW 9MP USB3 Cooled Monochrome Camera

Cooled monochrome CMOS digital scientific camera, designed for long exposure imaging with very low noise and very high sensitivity.

Description of the Tuscen FL 9BW camera

Thanks to a high-performance Sony IMX533 BSI CMOS sensor and Tucsen’s expertise in cooling chamber design, it achieves remarkable low-signal imaging performance.
Its ultra-low dark current (< 0.0005 e-/pixel/second) and active cooling to -25°C enable exposures of up to 60 minutes with a very high signal-to-noise ratio.
It also incorporates advanced glow suppression and calibration technologies for precision quantitative analysis.
