MF603C-CCD-NI10 Includes Only:
- One 6MP USB3.0 Temperature-regulated Digital Camera
- One heavy-duty carrying case
- One power adapter
- One 6' (1.8m) USB Cable
- One CD with software and instructions
The MF603C-CCD-NI10 is top-of-the-line camera for imaging in low-light conditions such as fluorescence-microscopy. The camera uses a 6-megapixel, 1" Sony HAD CCD sensor, which dramatically boosts light-gathering efficiency. To guarantee a high signal-to-noise performance, the camera features a built-in thermal-regulation system capable of decreasing the operating temperature by up to 45 degrees. This reduction in sensor-heat results in less self-noise during the light-capture and conversion processes.
An added benefit of the CCD sensor is its "global shutter" design, which eliminates "rolling-shutter" artifacts associated with CMOS sensors. This equates to better consitency and less distortion during image-capture, and smoother movement in video. Because of the camera's accuracy and noise-control, the camera is capable of capturing long-exposures up to one hour.
The industry-standard C-mount design allows this camera to be connected directly to C-mount photo-ports, and this package comes with a 1X photo adapter for Nikon microscopes, including: E100, E200, 50i, 55i, 80i, 90i, Ni series, Ti series, SMZ800, SMZ1000, and SMZ15000.
With software available for Windows, Mac, and Linux, this camera package is a multi-platform imaging solution. The included Windows software offers image-development and measurement tools, as well as advanced compositing features such as image-stitching and extended-depth-of-focus. With the ability to calibrate scales at multiple magnifications, the software can be used for multi-level inspection. Independent preview and capture resolutions allow you to view high-speed video while simultaneously capturing high-definition images. For Mac and Linux, there is a lite version of the software which can capture video and still images, and includes limited processing features.
