Leica DFC310FX highlights:
Leica DFC310 FX is a digital color camera which is designed for demanding applications in cell biology, developmental biology, and medicine. Stained histological sections as well as fluorescence labelled specimens can be documented with highest color fidelity. Active cooling of sensor elements using a Peltier element creates noise-free images even at the lowest light intensities. Moreover, various acquisition modes such as binning allow for the precise monitoring of fast dynamic processes in living cells: the new Leica DFC310 FX is ideally suited for GFP-expressing or vital stained micro and macro specimens.
Many advantages for your research application:
◇ 1.4 megapixel CCD with Bayer Array RGB Filter
◇ 36 Bit RGB color depth
◇ High linearity over the complete dynamic range.
◇ Variable exposure times (4 µsec – 10 min).
◇ Due to active cooling of the sensor minimized noise levels
◇ Binning mode ideal for fast acquisition of living cells
◇ Partial Scan Mode allows fastest readout of free defi nable regions of interest (ROI)
◇ Up to 71 frames per second
◇ FireWire b interface for fast data transfer
◇ For PC and MAC environment
◇ Easy to use software features useful functions for acquisition and processing
