About the i2100c

The i2100c is the second in a series of high quality and high resolution
super digital video cameras. Designed specifically for telemicroscopy and
macroscopy, it allows you to preview up to 1600x1200 pixel lines of reso­lution at 15fps.

The i2100c is built on a zero-pixel loss sensor and uses six isolated digital
and analog power supplies that operate in a wide range of temperatures.
The noise and interference are limited, providing a far better image.

Using FRoST™ cooling technology, heat is isolated and drawn up and off
the back of the sensor which not only keeps the camera cooler, but also
keeps the camera’s color and contrast levels consistent, even after hours
of use. For more information about this cooling technology, please visit
our website.
