PCO Flim camera release

pco.flim
Luminescence lifetime imaging camera

The pco.flim camera system is the first luminescence lifetime imaging camera using a two tap CMOS image sensor. The camera can internally generate a wide range of frequencies and will also accept external modulation signals within a limited range of frequencies.
It features a variety of trigger input and output signals for easy system integration. Special software provides direct measurements and lifetime analysis.
