A microscope charge-coupled device (CCD) camera is a camera that attaches to a microscope and takes still pictures or movies of the specimen being observed. The cameras can have their own monitors or attach to a computer for easy viewing of the images. The microscope CCD camera is used in biology, microbiology, and chemistry labs to capture high quality image data, in manufacturing to aid in research and development, as well as, quality control, and in forensic investigation.
Considerations when choosing a microscope CCD camera :
There are several features of microscope CCD cameras that vary, including image resolution and contrast, frame per second rate, and the range of temperature and/or humidity in which the camera will function.

| Description | The iKon ‘slow scan’ CCD camera series features unique thermoelectric cooling to -100°C for industry-leading low noise performance coupled with highly efficient back-illuminated photon collection across a broad spectral range and exceptional dynamic range. The iKon series is aimed at applications The iKon ‘slow scan’ CCD camera series features unique thermoelectric cooling to -100°C for industry-leading low noise performance coupled with highly efficient back-illuminated photon collection across a broad spectral range and exceptional dynamic range. The iKon series is aimed at applications such as plant imaging or in vivo luminescence experiments that require exposure durations of minutes, or even hours.
iKon deep-cooled CCDs are suited primarily to ‘slow’ low-light imaging applications that typically involve long exposures (from tens of seconds to minutes or even hours) combined with a relatively slow image readout, typified by usage in astronomy or weak luminescence detection. However, a special Fast Kinetics mode can be accessed to obtain bursts of data with microsecond dynamics, extending imaging flexibility. A combination of low noise floor, excellent photon response over a wide optical wavelength range and superb image uniformity guides the usage of iKon CCDs.
Features:
- Large Field of View
- Market-leading thermoelectric cooling to -100 °C
- Back-illuminated > 95% QE
- Optimal signal-to-noise performance at long exposures
- Low Maintenance Operation

Bypass mode. Andor’s TuCam is a new generation two-camera adapter for macro or microscopic imaging applications. Available in C- or CSUX-mount, TuCam features include large aperture, exceptional transmission, very low distortion and high precision alignment using kinematic cassettes.
TuCam can be configured for simultaneous imaging from two similar cameras or as a switch between camera models with different imaging capabilities.
A full range of beam splitting optics are available with custom-designed kinematic cassettes for precision alignment. These include wavelength and polarization splitters of the highest quality as well as a first surface mirror for switching between cameras.
A variety of camera tubes & lenses is available to provide magnifications of 1.0x, 1.2x, 1.5x and 2.0x in each arm of the adapter. A filter wheel can also be integrated at the input of TuCam to enable pre-filtering of the desired emission band.... Read More |
