Superior image quality, external trigger function and long integration times - these are just a few of the many properties this Peltier-cooled colour and b/w camera offers.
The Olympus XC10 conceals a 1,376 x 1,032 pixel CCD chip. Every colour channel offers 14 bits. In the 2x binning mode the camera provides more than 15 frames per second. This makes the Olympus XC10 ideal for applications that require fast image acquisition. In addition, the high image frequency can be used to focus samples or locate areas of interest directly on the PC screen.
The superior characteristics offered by this CCD chip in conjunction with the Peltier cooling ensure colour images rich in detail and contrast with extraordinarily low noise. Extremely long exposure times up to 160 seconds can be set. This means that the camera can be used to detect signals of weak intensity as is the case in usual fluorescence applications.
