Leica DC300 FX

Digital color camera (c-mount) for fluorescent applications, high sensitivity, 1.4 MPixel resolution, hotlink-Interface

Overview

This new digital camera system from Leica Microsystems record live cells, motion sequences and samples that require fast exposure times at the lowest light intensity. The high sensitivity in the visible spectrum assure reliable results in GFP microscopy and other low-light applications requiring fast exposure times.

Key Features

  • 1.4 Megapixel CCD with Bayer Array RGB Filter with very high sensitivity in the visible spectrum
  • Ideal for live cells and samples that require fast exposure times
  • 36 bit RGB color depth (Leica DC300FX)
  • High linearity across the complete dynamic range and lowest signal to noise ratio
  • Exposure time adjustable from 5 to 600 seconds
  • Partial Scan Mode: fastest scanning of a freely defined area at full resolution
  • Easy installation on practically every micros-cope, stereomicroscope and macroscope
  • Power supply for camera and fast data transfer using one cable
  • Intuitive user interface with convenient image capture and processing functions for PC

The heart of the new digital cameras is a 2/3" progressive scan interline sensor. Due to increased camera sensitivity and rapid fluorescence excitation, images can now be acquired without concern of fluorescence bleaching. Active cooling of the sensor using a Peltier element creates noise-free images even at the lowest light intensity.
The new Leica FX cameras have been designed to optimize the performance of the vast number of operating systems available to the market. To maximize the camera’s performance on a PC platform, an advanced PCI interface has been engineered to take full advantage of the latest Windows™ operating systems.
