Nikon has added the DS-Fi1c, a cooled CCD camera, to its Digital Sight range.
The DS-Fi1c features a high-definition cooled colour camera head and the latest optical technology.
It is ideal for brightfield and fluorescence applications as well as sensitive samples.
An optimal microscopic digital imaging system can be configured for any bioscience or industrial application, from documentation to advanced image processing and analysis.
The DS-Fi1c uses a Peltier cooling mechanism to cool the CCD to 20C below the ambient temperature.
When capturing fluorescence images where long exposures are required, thermal background noise is suppressed, enabling capture of high-contrast images.
With a high dynamic range, low noise and high frame rate, the DS-Fi1c offers high performance under short and longer exposure times and is suitable for sensitive samples across a variety of applications, including fluorescence, brightfield, phase contrast and differential interference contrast (DIC).
The high definition 5.0-megapixel CCD produces better fluorescence images.
The DS-Fi1c offers all of the convenience and features of the DS series.
It has a C-mount and is compatible with the Nikon DS-L2 and DS-U2 controllers via a USB 2.0 interface.
The DS-Fi1c can be controlled by NIS-Elements software.
