Product catalog summary
Overview: The CoolSNAP MYO is a high-performance CCD camera designed for life sciences applications, particularly in moderate to low-light conditions. It offers high resolution and sensitivity, making it suitable for various imaging techniques.
Primary Applications: The camera is ideal for fixed cell imaging, immunofluorescence, cell trafficking, FRET, FRAP, FISH, near-infrared DIC, and calcium/ion imaging.
Key Features and Benefits:
  • Imaging Array: 1940 x 1460 with 4.54 x 4.54 µm pixels for high spatial resolution.
  • Quantum Efficiency: Approximately 75% peak efficiency for high sensitivity.
  • Readout Speed: 20 MHz for maximizing temporal resolution.
  • Connectivity: USB 2.0 interface for easy setup.
  • Binning: Enhances frame rate and signal-to-noise performance.
  • Digitization: 14-bit for quantifying both bright and dim signals.
  • Cooling: Thermoelectric cooling for low dark current during long exposures.
  • Fan Disable Option: Useful for vibration-sensitive applications.
  • Mounting: C-mount for easy attachment to microscopes and optical equipment.
  • Software: Acquisition software for capturing, analyzing, and saving images.
Specifications:
  • CCD Sensor: Sony® ICX-674 Interline CCD.
  • Imaging Area: 8.8 x 6.6 mm (11mm diagonal, 2/3” format).
  • Linear Full-Well Capacity: 12,000e-.
  • Read Noise: Varies with frequency (5.5e- @ 20MHz, 4.5e- @ 10MHz, 3.5e- @ 1.25MHz).
  • Nonlinearity: Less than 1%.
  • Cooling: 0°C.
  • Dark Current: 0.005 e-/pixel/second at 0°C.
  • Operating Environment: 0 to 30°C ambient, 0-80% relative humidity non-condensing.
  • Triggering Modes: Trigger First, Strobe, Bulb.
  • Power Requirements: 5V DC, 4A Maximum.
Performance: Frame rates vary with binning and are measured at 20 MHz with 0-millisecond exposure times. For example, at 1x1 binning, the frame rate is 6.3 fps, increasing with higher binning levels.
Additional Information: The datasheet includes dimensions and mounting details for integration with other equipment.
