INTRODUCTION
The QImaging QIClick CCD digital camera features enhanced visible and IR quantum efficiency for super high
sensitivity for demanding low light and fluorescence imaging applications. A progressive scan interline CCD
sensor gives a resolution of 1.4 million pixels in a 12-bit digital output. High-speed low-noise electronics provide
linear digital data for rapid image capture. The FireWire IEEE1394 digital interface allows ease of use and
installation with a single wire requiring no framegrabber or external power supply. The QIClick includes
QCapture Software for Windows and Mac based software systems for real time image preview and capture.
A Software Development Kit (SDK) is available for interfacing with custom software.
