Versatile Bio-Imaging Microscopy Camera

The EXi Aqua bio-imaging microscopy camera The EXi Aqua bio-imaging microscopy camera from QImaging replaces the Retiga EXi with better performance and many feature enhancements. The camera can perform a range of applications—from quantitative color and immuno-fluorescence imaging to capturing dim fluorescent protein data.

The user-friendly camera is literally two cameras in one—a sensitive monochrome camera and, when utilized with the optional RGB filter module, a high-resolution color camera. The device is also available with a convenient Bayer mask color CCD option. In addition, its capabilities can be upgraded, should imaging requirements change over time.

The 20-MHz, 14-bit camera utilizes the bandwidth of an IEEE 1394b Firewire interface with the megapixel resolution and sensitivity of a Sony ICX285 interline sensor. The IEEE 1394b protocol delivers 800-Mb/s bandwidth capacity, allowing the camera to read out up to 10.9 full-resolution fps.

Flexible binning enhances the camera’s sensitivity and speed. Variable exposure times range from 10 usec to 17.9 min. Cooled and stabilized at 0 C, the camera boasts a broad spectral response with enhanced red sensitivity and approximately 20% less read noise than its predecessor, the Retiga EXi. Weighing in at <2 lbs, it requires no bulky external controller, minimizing bench clutter.

The robust QCam driver integrates seamlessly with a variety of third-party software packages, and the camera can be installed and operational minutes out of the box. It is also backed by proprietary application and product support and a two-year limited warranty.
