Features a Peltier-cooled, progressive scan interline CCD sensor with 1.3 megapixel resolution (1280×1024). Provides 12-bit digital output with high quantum efficiency and low dark current. Offers binning capabilities, multiple exposure control modes, and IEEE1394 (FireWire) interface for high-speed data transfer. Primarily used in fluorescence microscopy, calcium imaging, FRET, time-lapse imaging, and other life science research applications requiring detection of low light signals with high signal-to-noise ratio. ## Function High-resolution CCD imaging, Peltier cooling for reduced thermal noise, USB 2.0 interface for connectivity, high dynamic range for capturing low-light scenes, real-time image processing capabilities, compatibility with scientific analysis software, adjustable gain and offset settings, fast frame rates for dynamic experiments, integration with microscope systems, and designed for fluorescence microscopy, calcium imaging, and live cell analysis. ## Platform Scientific imaging systems requiring high-sensitivity detection with thermoelectric cooling integration, microscopy platforms supporting IEEE 1394 FireWire connectivity, laboratory automation systems with external trigger synchronization capabilities, research instrumentation requiring 12-bit digital output with progressive scan CCD sensor technology, computer-controlled imaging setups utilizing Windows-compatible camera control software interfaces ## Application High-sensitivity scientific imaging applications including fluorescence microscopy, low-light biological sample documentation, calcium imaging, FRET analysis, time-lapse microscopy, immunofluorescence, GFP imaging, bioluminescence detection, chemiluminescence measurement, single molecule detection, live cell imaging, darkfield microscopy, differential interference contrast microscopy, confocal microscopy, multiphoton microscopy, TIRF microscopy, ratiometric imaging, colocalization studies, subcellular dynamics tracking, protein interaction studies, gene expression analysis, neuroscience research, developmental biology studies, cancer research imaging, drug discovery screening, quality control in semiconductor manufacturing, astronomy, spectroscopy applications. ## Accessories The camera operates with a 12V DC power supply via barrel jack. Data and control utilize a 6-pin IEEE 1394a FireWire port. An external trigger input is provided via a BNC female connector. A C-mount lens (user-supplied) is required. Software/drivers are essential for operation. The -98-24NRU designation indicates a specific CCD sensor (e.g., Sony ICX285AL), 24MHz readout speed, and Ultra-low noise non-regulated cooling. ## Interface The camera uses a C-mount lens interface and a hermetic vacuum-sealed air-cooled head. It has a digital output via a 12 or 14-bit A/D converter and supports external control and triggering through an RS-232C interface. The pixel readout clock rate is selectable up to 10 MHz/pixel. External trigger inputs support edge, level, start, and synchronous readout triggers. Programmable timing outputs and exposure timing output signals are available. The device requires AC power input (100-240 V, 50/60 Hz) and communicates with the host via RS-232C. No mechanical shutter is present. ## Images - - - -
