BIC-SHR Series Ultra-High-Resolution Scientific Microscopy Cameras Introduction

The BIC-SHR series scientific cameras feature high-performance large-pixel or full-frame image sensors from the Sony Exmor CMOS and GSENSE series. To minimize thermal noise, an advanced cooling module has been engineered to reduce the sensor’s operating temperature by up to 40°C below ambient, ensuring optimal imaging performance. Additionally, an anti-fog structure is incorporated to prevent condensation on the sensor surface at low temperatures.
The sensor temperature in the BIC-SHR cameras can be precisely controlled via software, maintaining maximum quantum efficiency for photoelectric conversion under low-noise conditions. Since the quantum efficiency of high-performance sensors such as Sony Exmor CMOS or GSENSE can degrade at extremely low temperatures, precise temperature regulation is essential for consistent performance.
Designed for versatility, the BIC-SHR series supports both free-run and trigger modes, enabling the capture of single or multiple images per trigger. The cameras integrate highly stable, industrial-grade I/O modules that allow synchronization with multiple external devices or simultaneous operation of multiple cameras.
The BIC-SHR cameras come bundled with BioView/BioLite, an advanced image processing software suite that provides comprehensive control over camera settings and image enhancement.
