Description

Introduction

CoolSNAPcf and CoolSNAPES, from Photometrics®, are ideal cameras for digital microscopy and many other biological applications. The simple, compact CoolSNAPcf incorporates a high-quality CCD (charge-coupled device), a 12-bit scientific digitizer, and low-noise electronics to produce high-quality 12-bit monochrome or 36-bit digital color images at greater than 1k x 1k resolution. The CoolSNAPES offers higher sensitivity (especially in the red region) and lower read noise to produce high quality 12-bit monochrome images.

Note: Unless otherwise noted, the CoolSNAPcf and the CoolSNAPES cameras are referred to by the name "CoolSNAP".
