CoolSNAP ™ EZ Monochrome Datasheet
HIGH PERFORMANCE EMCCD & CCD CAMERAS FOR LIFE SCIENCES
1392 x 1040 imaging array
6.45 x 6.45-µm pixels
The CoolSNAP EZ Monochrome camera from Photometrics®
delivers fast, high-resolution imaging for low-light life sciences
applications. This moderately cooled CCD camera provides
12-bit digitization at 20 MHz. The fine pitch of the pixels is
ideally matched to the resolution of optical microscopes.
Primary applications
Megapixel resolution and small pixels allow imaging of very
Fixed-cell imaging
fine detail, yet the pixels can be easily binned to utilize the full
Immunofluorescence
dynamic range and increase signal-to-noise performance.
FISH
Advanced interline-transfer CCD technology provides high
Ion concentration imaging
quantum efficiency, most notably in the near-infrared (NIR)
Near-infrared (NIR) DIC
portion of the spectrum.
