The Leica DFC350 FX monochrome Digital Camera is specially designed for fluorescence analytical imaging requirements. Featuring 1.4 megapixel resolution and a FireWire interface, it records live cells, sequences of motion and fluorescence specimens or particles that are susceptible to photobleaching, even at the lowest light intensities. High sensitivity in the visible and infrared spectrum ensures reliable results in fluorescence microscopy, especially for GFP and other low illumination applications. The stylish housing is lightweight and compact, and easily attaches to your particular microscope, (c-mount).

The heart of the Leica DFC350 FX is a 2/3" progressive scan interline sensor. Due to the high sensitivity, quickly bleaching fluorescence specimens can now be exposed rapidly and the fluorescence excitation light can be significantly reduced for sensitive live cells. Active cooling of sensor elements using a Peltier element creates noise-free images even at the lowest light intensities. The Leica DFC350 FX monochrome camera is the perfect tool for genetics applications due to its high sensitivity in the red and near-infrared range.
