Terms used to describe fluorescence camera sensitivity	In order to see a fluorescence image in the eyepieces...
Bright Fluorescence	Room lights can be on, eye not dark-adapted
Moderate Fluorescence	Room lights must be off, eye is somewhat dark-adapted
Low Fluorescence	Room lights must be off, eye is dark-adapted, and you must use a little imagination to see an image

Color High Performance Digital Cameras

Model	Pixel Array	Description
Nikon DXM-1200C Digital Camera	3840 x 3072 with pixel -shifting	Resolution better than film. Cooled. Extremely easy to use ACT-1 or NIS_FW software. Real time full-screen color display, Low noise and high sensitivity for moderate to bright fluorescence imaging, up to 270 second integration, c-mount
Nikon DS-Fi1	2560x 1920	5-megapixel high speed color camera works as standal;one with L2 controller, or PC-USB 2.0 driven with the U-2 controller and software
Nikon DS-5Mc	2560 x 1920	5-megapixel cooled digital color camera head. Can be used with L1, L2, U-1 , and U-2 controllers. For all transmitted light techniques and bright fluorescence
Nikon DS-2Mc	1600 x 1200	High Frame Rate 2-Megapixel cooled monochrome camera. High quantum efficiency, and high sensitivity. High Frame Rate equivalent to an analog CCD camera (maximum rate of 30 frames per seconds) makes the DS-2MBW an excellent tool for capturing and monitoring of images. Excellent for life science, industrial and materials science applications with high frame rate and sensitivity detection with ease of use. Flexible configuration with either the DS-L2 or DS-U2 camera controller
Nikon DS-2M	1600 x 1200	High Frame Rate 2-Megapixel color digital camera. High quantum efficiency, and high sensitivity. Excellent for life science, industrial and materials science applications with high frame rate and sensitivity detection with ease of use. Flexible configuration with either the DS-L2 or DS-U2 camera controller
Nikon DS-Qi1	1394 x 1060	Cooled monochrome camera for fluorescence applications. 2/3" CCD, 6.45 x 6.45 um pixels, 19fps at full resolution. Works with DS-U2 or L2 controllers.
Nikon DQC-FS Quantitative Monochrome Camera	512 x 512	The DCQ-FS is ideally suited for "sit and stare" low-light, high speed imaging applications. It has a back-illuminated, frame transfer electron-multiplication gain CCD. The CCD has over 90% quantum efficiency from 500-700nm. 512x512 pixel array with 16um pixels, utilizing two separate readout registers: one for EM gain mode and a second standard readout register for non-EM gain imaging. This allows digitization rates of 10MHz, 5MHz, or 1 MHz – all at 16bits.
Nikon DS-U2 controller	DS Camera Controller	Live images can be viewed, recorded, measured, processed, and analyzed by connecting to a PC via USB 2.0. Sophisticated, thin, compact design. Bundled with NIS-Elements "F" package for basic image capturing, or with NIS-D, B, or A for advanced capturing. Flexible configurations with any Digital Sight camera
Nikon DS-L2 controller	DS Camera Controller	Does not need a PC! Large, built-in 8.4in. LCD display. Save images directly to memory stick, Compact Flash card, or network. Simple operation with a mouse. On-screen GUI. True natural color representation. Two USB ports, no need for a USB hub. DVI-I digital output for external display (SXGA, XGA). Flexible configurations with any Digital Sight camera.
