Recommended camera heads for general observation

These camera heads can be deployed in a broad range of illumination techniques, including bright- field, darkfield, phase contrast and Nomarski DIC (differential interference contrast).

Smooth and comfortable live images

Incorporates a 2-megapixel colorCCD that can smoothly display SXGA live motionimages at15 fps*1 (max. 30 fps). A well balanced camera head that enables display of live images and capture of high definition images.

*1 Using the DS-L1, with output to an external monitor.

Captures true to life images

DS-5M incorporates a 5-megapixel color CCD that offers a high-resolution image size of 2560x1920 pixels. It is ideal for acquiring detailed microscopic images under a variety of illumination techniques, including bright- field, phase contrast and (DIC).

Nikon has developed a comprehensive range of digital camera systems that are optimized forcapturingmicroscopic images of superb quality.

The 5 types of camera heads and 2 types of control units all function seamlessly together, providing the ultimate in flexibility to configure the perfect digital system for many applications.

Recommended camera heads for fluorescence and ultra low light observations

These cameras are ideal for darkfield and flu- orescence samples. Incorporating a Peltier cooling mechanism, cooled types are able to greatly reduce the thermal noise that can be

High-sensitivity imaging

The 2MBWc incorporates a Peltier cooling mechanism that minimizes thermal noise. Its 2-megapizel mono- chrome CCD boasts a sensitivity rating five times greater than that of previous models, resulting in a shortened total exposure time and reduced fading, and allowing the realization of high frame rate.

* A non-cooled model (DS-2MBW) is also available.

With its built-in Peltier cooling mechanism, the tem- perature of the 5.0-megapixel color CCD can be main- tained at 20 °C below room temperature . Thermal noise is thus greatly reduced during long time expo- sure.
