®
, are ideal cameras for digital
microscopy and many other biological applications. The simple, compact
CoolSNAP
cf
incorporates a high-quality CCD (charge-coupled device), a 12-bit
scientific digitizer, and low-noise electronics to produce high-quality 12-bit
monochrome or 36-bit digital color images at greater than 1k x 1k resolution. The
CoolSNAP
