Digital Cameras for Microscopes

Introducing two new high resolution High pixel density, high sensitivity and low noise are key features of the DS-Qi2 monchrome camera 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.

Microscope Camera Mouse cerebellum sagittal section, hematoxylin and eosin stained (Objective: CFI Plan Apochromat A 4x) High-resolution images 16.25-megapixel CMOS sensors for astonishing image quality The DS series enables one-shot instantaneous capture and fast storage of images with resolution as high as 4908 x 3264 pixels, without pixel shifting or pixel stepping. This pixel density is ideally suited for photomicrography of ultra-fine structures or patterns in biological or industrial samples, at low or high magnifications. Photography with the natural colors seen through the microscope...

Capture Low light uorescence and Lar ge Fields of View Monochrome Microscope Camera 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.

Digital camera heads A microscope digital camera system with selectable combinations of camera head and controller for every application Three models of compact color digital cameras for microscopy are available as camera heads. Two models of controller are available: a stand-alone type with built-in monitor for easy image capture, and a PC-use controlled type that enables advanced image processing and analysis via imaging software. The three camera head models and two controller models can be freely combined to create a system for every High-denition color camera head The DS-Fi2 is capable of...

Stand-alone control unit A wide variety of tools Equipped with a large touch panel monitor and a rich feature set, the DS-L3's ease of operation enables quick image acquisition even without a PC or computer monitor. 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...

Imaging software Integration with the comprehensive imaging software series Nikon uses the NIS-Elements series as control software. NIS-Elements allows functions from basic imaging to control of the microscope and peripheral devices to be performed, as well as the measurement, analysis, and management of acquired images. Four basic packages and a variety of optional modules are available to suit every application and objective. * See the NIS-Elements Catalog for details. HDR (High Dynamic Range) image acquisition HDR creates an image with appropriate brightness in both the dark and bright regions...
