Digital Camera System for MicroscopyDigital Sight Series

Offering you the maximum flexibility to configure the camera head and control unit to meet your specific needs, from advanced research to inspection records, biological or industrial use.
 
• Camera head line-up
 
Super high-definition cooled color camera head—DS-Ri1
The DS-Ri1 realizes an image quality of 12.7 megapixels and 2200 TV lines with the pixel shift method. Superior color reproduction capability allows recording of accurate specimen colors, and smooth live image display at a high frame rate of max. 19fps makes focusing easy. Because the CCD is cooled at 10℃ below its uncooled state, heat-induced noise is reduced, and this ensures clear fluorescence images.
 
High-definition color camera head—DS-Fi1
A 5-megapixel CCD faithfully captures microstructures with resolution as high as 2560 x 1920 pixels. Other advanced features include improved image quality through the upgraded IR-cut filter and enhanced frame rate. It can be universally used for brightfield, darkfield, phase contrast, or DIC observations.
 
High-definition cooled color camera head—DS-5Mc
A Peltier device cooling mechanism has been incorporated into the 5-megapixel CCD that delivers high-resolution images of up to 2560 x 1920 pixels. This mechanism keeps the CCD at 20°C below its uncooled state to produce high-contrast images with less heat-induced noise. It is ideal for imaging of weak-light structures under fluorescence and darkfield microscopy.
 
High-speed live display color camera head—DS-2Mv
Features a high frame rate, 2.0-magapixel CCD. Displays SXGA live images (1600 x 1200 pixels max.) at 15fps (30fps max.). The DS-2Mv balances smooth live image movement and high resolution.
 
High-speed live display cooled monochrome camera head—DS-2MBWc
Incorporates a Peltier device cooling mechanism that keeps the CCD at 20°C below its uncooled state. Coupled with sensitivity five times greater than conventional models and high frame rate (30fps max.) of the 2.0-magapixel monochrome CCD, this camera provides clear images with minimal heat-induced noise and photobleaching.
 
High-speed live display monochrome camera head—DS-2MBW
Incorporates a 2.0-megapixel monochrome CCD to display SXGA live images (1600 x 1200 pixels max. at 15fps (30fps max.). An excellent cost-to-performance ratio, with both high frame rates and high sensitivity.
 
In addition to the above products, the DS-Qi1 high-sensitivity cooled monochrome camera with low noise and excellent quantitative capability—perfect for time-lapse fluorescence observation—is available.
 
• Control unit line-up
 
Standalone control unit—DS-L2
The standalone configuration eliminates the need for PC connection, thus simplifying image capture. Operation is via simple clicks on icons on the built-in 8.4-in. LCD monitor. The optimum imaging condition that matches the observation technique in use can be automatically set by clicking on the appropriate “scene mode.” Archiving of images to networked PCs or a USB memory device, output to a larger size monitor, direct print to PictBridge printer are all possible.
 
PC-use control unit—DS-U2
Easily connectable to a PC via high-speed USB2.0 interface. Optional NIS-Elements imaging software seamlessly enables multidimensional imaging tasks, supporting microscope, camera and peripheral device control, and processing, measurement, image analysis and data management.
