- PCO Group: manufacturer of high performance sCMOS-, CMOS- and CCD camera systems
PCO Group is founded in 1987. The company headquarters in Kelheim (Germany) employs more than 70 specialists in the development and production of optimized, sensitive camera systems for scientific and industrial applications. PCO’s range of products includes digital camera systems featuring high dynamics, extremely high sensitivity, high resolution, high speed, and extremely low noise, which are sold in all over the world.
PCO. Development & Production
The camera systems produced by PCO AG are cameras and scientific measuring instruments at the same time. Our high-tech systems are mostly the result of manual labor: highly specialized employees handle development and production at the Kelheim site. We deliver roughly 5.000 cameras a year to customers all over the world. As in every cutting edge technology, dialogue with the user is the main focus of PCO’s approach. The PCO Group runs own establishments in America, PCO-TECH Inc. (formerly The Cooke Corporation) and Asia, PCO Imaging Asia Ptd. Furthermore a strong network of local sales representatives exchanges with our customers worldwide. This global cooperation, with the in-house sales & marketing division plus the technical support team, ensures that PCO camera systems are developed in step with the individual requirements of the customer applications.
PCO. Pioneer of sCMOS technology
The new sCMOS cameras pco.edge and pco.edge gold (deep cooled version) are breakthroughs in scientific imaging cameras, due to their distinctive ability to simultaneously deliver extremely low noise, fast frame rates, wide dynamic range, high quantum efficiency, high resolution and large field of view - all in one image.
PCO. Product Range
The product range is structured into the following sections:
sCMOS cameras
scientific CMOS camera systems
sensitive cameras
12bit & 14bit dynamic CCD camera systems with high sensitivity and low noise, even for NIR and UV light detection
