New 16.25-megapixel, high-definition monochrome microscope camera equipped with Nikon FX-format CMOS sensor. Delivers high-sensitivity, low-noise images.
For the first time ever, Nikon has equipped with a Nikon digital SLR camera FX-format CMOS sensor and optimized it for microscopy. The result is an ultra-high quality 16.25 megapixel monochrome camera that features high pixel density, high sensitivity and low noise, making it an excellent choice for applications in quantitative fluorescence imaging.
CMOS
Nikon CMOS sensors and imaging technologies for professional D-SLR cameras have been optimized for microscopy.
7.3μm pixels, high quantum efficiency, and very low read noise allow the DS-Qi2 to read in even faint fluorescent signals.
With a linearity error of ±1%, the DS-Qi2 is a superb tool for measuring intensities in fluorescence samples, including timebases intensity measurement and radiometric meassurement.
With a high-sensitivity CMOS sensor and USB 3.0-based data transfer, the DS-Qi2 enables high-speed live imaging and image capture at up to 45 fps (1636×1088 pixels).
2.2 electrons read noise coupled with a large full-well capacity allows the acquisition of fluorescence images with very little noise and very high dynamic range.
With a large field of view and pixel density, and low noise, the DS-Qi2 is ideal for time-resolved imaging applications.
