2 Image Acquisition with the AxioCam
MRc5
2.1 General
The
AxioCam MRc5
is a professional digital camera with a high-resolution 5
megapixel CCD color sensor for universal application in the field of light
microscopy.
The color camera is suitable for all situations where stained or naturally
colored samples need to be acquired quickly and with very high camera
resolution.
As it has a number of selectable acquisition modes, the camera can be
adapted flexibly in terms of acquisition speed and quality to suit a variety of
acquisition conditions.
The 12-bit digitization of the sensor signals ensures an optimum combination
of spatial definition and outstanding resolution of intensity levels.
The camera’s very low level of background noise (supported by active Peltier
cooling of the sensor), and possible exposure times ranging from 1 ms up to
60 sec, make it suitable for an extremely wide range of applications in the
field of microscopy.
