Nanopoint High Resolution Camera Specifications
Nanopoint's 1.4 megapixel CCD digital camera provides a versatile solution for life science and clinical professionals. With 1392x1040 resolution and on-board processing, the camera delivers outstanding image quality for a wide variety of scientific applications. The high resolution cooled CCD camera is ideal in low-light conditions where high dynamic range is required and is suited to fluorescence-based applications such as cell viability, apoptosis, gene expression, and cell signaling studies.
The high resolution camera is fully supported by Nanopoint's cellTRAY Manager software. The intuitive, easy to use software provides camera controls including exposure and gain, and camera cooling functions, while also controlling the filter wheel and shutter to efficiently capture the optimal image. The USB 2.0 digital interface ensures a simple plug-and-play installation and there is no frame grabber requirement.
