Digital Camera System for Microscopy
The best choice in digital camera
systems for microscopes
Nikon has developed an integrated imaging system for
microscopy by creating both microscopes and digital cameras
that work seamlessly together and with peripheral equipment.
The compact camera head houses a 5.0-megapixel CCD.
Either color cooled type or standard type is selectable.
The color cooled camera head minimizes thermal noise
and creates ideal
conditions for taking fluorescence images.
Now you can get the best combination of cameras and
controllers to meet your observation needs.
DS-5Mc-U1
Cooled camera with USB interface controller
Even faint fluorescence and darkfield images are captured with high definition and low noise. Efficiently
capture and manage images from your PC with the
dedicated camera controlling software developed for
microscopes. Ideal for research applications involving image analysis and processing.
DS-5Mc-L1
Cooled camera with stand-alone controller
The controller, which has a large, built-in 6.3-inch
monitor, allows easy acquisition of clear, noiseless
fluorescence images without having to connect to
a PC. It's networking capabilities allow you to easily expand your system according to your research
needs.
A stand-alone
controller for capturing images without a PC, or a USB
interface controller for controlling the camera from a PC, can be selected.
DS-5M-U1
Standard camera with USB interface controller
Transferring large volumes of photographed
images to a PC is easy and fast thanks to the USB
interface. Image analysis and database creation
are also made easy with exclusive software for
microscopic image observation.
Standard camera with stand-alone controller
Optimum photography is realized with a single
click by virtue of menus that itemize photographic
conditions according to the observation method.
The camera's stand-alone design allows photos to
be taken without a PC.

Camera Heads
Its compact body is equipped with a high-definition, 5.0-megapixel 2/3-inch CCD. This standardtype camera head realizes high-resolution photomicrography with a maximum of 2,560 x 1,920
pixels. In all observation methods, including
brightfield, phase difference, and differentiation
interference, acquiring beautiful pictures faithful
to the real specimen is possible.

Standard CCD Camera
An optimum high-definition,
low-noise cooled camera head
for fluorescence image photography
The DS-5Mc's 5.0-megapixel 2/3-inch CCD attains high-definition, high-resolution pictures with a maximum of 2,560 x 1,920
pixels. And a Peltier cooling mechanism that maintains the
temperature of the CCD at -20˚C below ambient room temperature reduces the effects of thermal noise and the generation of hot pixels. Even when photographing weak fluores-

it is able to acquire clear, low-noise images.
With 5.0 megapixels of high resolution,
the DS-5M captures beautiful microscope
images that are true to reality
