CoolSNAP ™ HQ2 Monochrome Datasheet HIGH PERFORMANCE EMCCD & CCD CAMERAS FOR LIFE SCIENCES 1392 x 1040 imaging array 6.45 x 6.45-µm pixels The CoolSNAP HQ2 Monochrome camera from Photometrics® delivers fast, high-resolution imaging for quantitative fluorescence microscopy applications. This cooled CCD camera provides a large dynamic range with very low noise at both 10 MHz and 20 MHz. The fine pitch of the pixels is ideally Primary applications matched to the resolution of optical microscopes. Megapixel Live-cell imaging resolution and small pixels allow imaging of very fine detail, High-speed emission ratio imaging yet the pixels can be easily binned to improve sensitivity. Low-copy gene analysis and gene expression profiling Advanced interline-transfer CCD technology provides high Quantitative FRET, FRAP, FISH quantum efficiency, most notably in the near-infrared (NIR) Dual-mode readout for variable-speed image capture 1392 x 1040 imaging array 6.45 x 6.45-μm pixels Resolves fine detail Ideally matched to optical microscope Electronic shuttering eliminates camera vibration and facilitates fast triggering Flexible binning and readout Increases signal-to-noise performance while increasing the frame rate High-bandwidth, uninterrupted data transfer with no dropped frames Quantifies bright and dim signals in the same image 14-bit digitization 12-bit digitization Thermoelectric cooling Special cooling package virtually eliminates dark current Enhanced quantum efficiency Provides higher sensitivity than typical interline cameras (especially in the NIR) Easily attaches to microscopes, standard lenses, or optical equipment Acquisition software Captures, analyzes, and saves high-resolution images PVCam Circular buffers Device sequencing Supported by numerous third-party software packages Real-time focus Precise integration with shutters, filter wheels, etc. Windows® XP/Vista 32 and Mac OS X Windows XP/Vista 32, Mac OS X, and Linux® (kernel versions 2.4 and 2.6.8) ©2012 Photometrics.
