Photometrics introduces the CoolSNAPTM MYO
and the CoolSNAPTM KINO CCD cameras, the newest members of the popular CoolSNAP camera line
Designed to discern finer details in biological samples under lower light levels, the MYO and KINO enable scientists to achieve higher quality, higher resolution images than previous CCD technology.
With standard scientific CCD sensor technology, researchers are currently limited to 1.4 megapixel imaging with 65% quantum efficiency. Packing twice as many pixels (2.8M) with a 15% improvement in peak quantum efficiency (75%), the MYO and KINO offer scientists the ability to visualize much finer details at much higher sensitivity. Photometrics is the first and only camera company to offer this new sensor technology.
The MYO is capable of cooling to 0°C and features a fan that can be disabled, which provides flexibility to optimize cooling for longer exposures in low-light scenarios and still accommodate extremely vibration-sensitive measurements. The KINO is cooled to 20°C without a fan, making it suitable for sensitive applications such as AFM where vibration is not tolerated. The MYO and KINO are ideal camera technologies for immunofluorescence and fluorescent protein imaging. The cameras are also well suited for near infrared DIC, electrophysiology, particle tracking, FRET and FRAP imaging.
The CoolSNAP MYO and KINO cameras share the following additional features
- 4.54 µm pixel pitch
- 6.2 frames per second
- USB 2.0 interface
"The CoolSNAP MYO and KINO cameras are a stepped change in superior spatial resolution and higher quantum efficiency, making better science
possible," said Rachit Mohindra, Photometrics product manager.
The CoolSNAP MYO and KINO are the next generation advancement of the CoolSNAP
TM
ES2 and CoolSNAP
TM EZ cameras.
