High-End Microscope Cameras
for Fluorescence Microscopy
Large Selection of Best-in-class
High Sensitivity Fluorescence Cameras
In order to detect the often low levels of fluorescence emitted by
specimess, cameras used in fluorescence microscopy must have
particular features, including high sensitivity and low noise, in order
to capture as many photons as possible.
These cameras are typically equipped with CCD sensor, although
nowadays there is always a larger selection of scientific-grade CMOS.
Monochrome cameras are usually more suited to fluorescence
imaging as they do not have a colour filter array, and enable
more photons to reach the sensor, increasing their sensitivity very
significantly compared to the color sensors.
The most indicated camera depends case by case, as it is of
fundamental importance to consider the sample being imaged, the
fluorochromes used, the required frame-rate, field of view, resolution
and sensitivity.
All these elements drive to the selection of the right camera for a
specific use.
