QImaging® Launches New optiMOS™ Scientific CMOS Camera

29 Aug 2014

Featuring faster frame rates and lower noise, optiMOS was designed as the buget friendly CCD alternative that compbines high speed with high resolution and increased sensitivity. 

Speed to resolve fast cellular events

Sensitivity to resolve low luminescence signals due to short exposures

Resoltuion to resolve small cell structures

The optiMOS sCMOS camera offers these features: 

2.1 megapixels at 100 Frames per Second (compared to 1.4 megapixel at 10 Frames per Scecond for a typical CCD camera. 

45% larger field of view than standard 1.4 megapixel fluorescence CCD cameras.

Full 100 Frames per Second to disk without expensive and comples RAID 0 configurations. 

OptiMOS is suited for a broad range of fluorescnec microscopy applications. The camera is ideal for cell biologists using live cell, multicolor fluorescence, biophysicists studying membrane dynamics and protein and lipid trafficking, as well as neuroscientists looking at ion transport such as electrophysiology, calcium imaging and ratiometric imaging.
