Digital Sight Series Brochure - 2

Introducing two new high resolution 16.25-megapixel CMOS cameras to Nikon’s lineup of cameras for microscopy Two Nikon FX-format CMOS sensor cameras join the Digital Sight series of microscope digital cameras: the DS-Ri2 color digital camera and the DS-Qi2 monochrome digital camera. High pixel density and large eld of view coupled with USB3.0 high speed data transfer offer fast frame rates and high resolution images with these new CMOS sensors. Large Format CMOS Sensors Nikon manufactures CMOS sensors and imaging technologies for professional DSLR cameras, and now has optimized our sensors...

Time-lapse images (every 1 second) of LLC-PK1 cells with GFP-EB3 tubulin. Each image represents the maximum intensity projection of the timelapse, allowing visualization of the end-binding protein located on the microtubule plus-ends, and allowing tracing of the microtubule path. DS-Qi2 captures an extremely large eld of view, but still represents very ne details as demonstrated in this cropped timelapse sequence from a large FOV image.

A wide variety of tools The DS-L3 enables the conducting of simple measurements on images, with input of lines and comments. These can also be written onto and saved with the image, and measurement data can be output. The DS-L3 can be controlled via PC using the NIS-Elements software (available separately; see page 12). The DS-L3 can also be used as is for complicated analysis and image processing. Saving and printing functions Measurement function • Measurement [2 point distance, Point to line distance, Circle distance, Angle, Circle (Diameter, Radius), Area, Pitch distance] Saving to a...
