the choice is yours ­ a perfect digital solution for your requirements 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 the digital sight series provides the solution for a variety of applications from industrial to biological use and from highlevel research to simple capture of inspection results smooth and comfortable live images recommended camera heads for general observation these camera heads can be deployed in a broad range of illumination techniques including brightfield darkfield phase contrast and nomarski dic differential interference contrast incorporates a 2-megapixel colorccd that can smoothly display sxga live motion images at 15 fps1 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 brightfield phase contrast and dic high speed recommended camera heads for fluorescence and ultra low light observations these cameras are ideal for darkfield and fluorescence samples incorporating a peltier cooling mechanism cooled types are able to greatly reduce the thermal noise that can be generated from long time exposures high resolution ds-2mbwc ds-2mbw high-sensitivity imaging the 2mbwc incorporates a peltier cooling mechanism that minimizes thermal noise its 2-megapizel monochrome 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 for extremely clear color fluorescence images with its built-in peltier cooling mechanism the temperature of the 5.0-megapixel color ccd can be maintained at 20 °c below room temperature thermal noise is thus greatly reduced during long time exposure 2 3
