TUCSEN FL20BW 20M USB3 Cooled Monochrome Camera

Tucsen’s FL 20BW camera is a high-performance solution for microscopy documentation and system integration.
Featuring a Sony IMX183 BSI CMOS sensor with high quantum efficiency (84%) and a 15.86 mm diagonal, it can capture high-definition 20 megapixel images at 16 fps.
Its advanced cooling system reduces dark current to just 0.001 e-/pixel/second, guaranteeing a clean background even in long exposure. It combines the noise and speed performance of CMOS cameras with the stability of CCD sensors.
