CAMERAS & DIGITAL Solutions

The most flexible way to create a digital microscope is to combine a digital camera to a standard microscope. You can
then move the camera on different microscopes and different cameras on any microscope for an incredible versatility.
Moreover, since microscope camera technology is improving so rapidly, it is easy to replace a camera as new ones are released.

Cameras & Digital

OPTIKA offers an impressive amount of microscope camera, all of which are easy-to-use, affordable and professionally selected for
excellent color resolution and rapid transmission. Downloadable, free of charge software is always available to enable the latest updates.

Applications include standard image capture and documentation for education, schools, home as well as professional image analysis
for laboratories and industrial inspections, including very advanced solutions for critical applications like low light fluorescence
imaging and material science applications.

P as Professional

Recommended for professional use in laboratory and industrial field, the valuable yet affordable OPTIKA C-P cameras are equipped with top­class SONY EXMOR sensors and USB3.0 connection for premium features and faster transmission speed. Perfect for most of the brightfield,
darkfield, phase contrast and metallographic applications when requiring PC/Laptop operation.

C-P3 P3 Pro camera, 3.1 MP CMOS, USB3.0
C-P6 P6 Pro camera, 6.3 MP CMOS, USB3.0
C-P8 P8 Pro camera, 8.3 MP CMOS, USB3.0
C-P20 P20 Pro camera, 20 MP CMOS, USB3.0

GS like Global Shutter

Global shutter camera are designed when particularly high-motion captures are needed, being perfect for enabling ‘freeze frame’ of fast
changing events, exposing each and every pixel simultaneously on PC/Laptop.
Superb with moving specimens in brightfield, darkfield, phase contrast and even in polarized light observations thanks to the generous
dynamic range which gives a great response to light and dark at the same time.

C-P5GS P5GS Pro global shutter camera, 5 MP CMOS, USB3.0

WH like Wi-fi & HDMI

The most versatile cameras with endless possibilities perfect for most of the brightfield, darkfield, phase contrast and material science
applications. Take benefit from the on-board imaging software to display live view directly on monitor and projector, with data storage on
SD card; or download the professional imaging software for PC.

C-WH5 WH5 camera, 1080p, 5 MP CMOS, Wi-Fi/HDMI, multi-plug

High-End Microscope Cameras

for Fluorescence Microscopy

Large Selection of Best-in-class
High Sensitivity Fluorescence Cameras

In order to detect the often low levels of fluorescence emitted by
specimess, cameras used in fluorescence microscopy must have
particular features, including high sensitivity and low noise, in order
to capture as many photons as possible.
These cameras are typically equipped with CCD sensor, although
nowadays there is always a larger selection of scientific-grade CMOS.
Monochrome cameras are usually more suited to fluorescence
imaging as they do not have a colour filter array, and enable
more photons to reach the sensor, increasing their sensitivity very
significantly compared to the color sensors.
The most indicated camera depends case by case, as it is of
fundamental importance to consider the sample being imaged, the
fluorochromes used, the required frame-rate, field of view, resolution
and sensitivity.
All these elements drive to the selection of the right camera for a
specific use.

WHEN PREFERRING A CCD TO A SCIENTIFIC-GRADE CMOS CAMERA?

CCD cameras are ideal for uorescence imaging: they produce black and white images, although, red, green or blue coloured lters can be placed

on top of each pixel, allowing one primary colour to be read from each pixel. Limitations of CCD cameras include a higher read noise as well as

limited frame rates. Scientic-grade CMOS cameras ensure faster frame rate and a lower read noise compared to CCD cameras. They typically
provide a large eld of view and high resolution, being preferred also for the high dynamic range and low noise. However, binning is less ad-

vantageous with sCMOS sensors than with CCD sensors.

WHEN PREFERRING A MONOCHROME TO A COLOR CAMERA?

Monochrome cameras provide a much higher sensitivity than to the one equipped with color sensors; therefore, un-
less multiple wavelengths are being imaged at the same time, monochrome cameras are best to use for uorescence imaging.
Monochrome cameras ensures color reproduction via software on captured images, whilst color cameras are preferred when colors need to be
observed also during the live view.

WHEN PREFERRING A GLOBAL SHUTTER TO A ROLLING SHUTTER CAMERA?

Global shutter cameras are designed when particularly high-motion captures are needed, being per-
fect for enabling ‘freeze frame’ of fast changing events, exposing each and every pixel simultaneously on PC/Laptop.
Superb with moving specimens thanks to the generous dynamic range which gives a great response to light and dark at the same time.

WHEN PREFERRING A HIGH RESOLUTION TO A LOW RESOLUTION CAMERA?

Resolution is particularly important in morphological imaging, patch clamping and network studies. It is the mi-
nimum point to point distance of the sample that can be distinguished as separate points on the image.

A larger number of smaller pixels gives a higher resolution. Do not forget that the resolution is also aected by the numerical aperture (NA) of

the objective.

WHEN PREFERRING A HIGH FRAME RATE TO A LOW FRAME RATE CAMERA?

Frame rate is the number of frames, or images, that are captured by the camera per second, extremely important in case
of fast events. Each camera has a maximum number of frames that it can image when using the whole camera chip.
CMOS cameras usually have a higher frame rate than CCD cameras. Frame rate can be improved by binning, decreasing exposure time, reducing
the region of interest being viewed and changing the PC connection.

WHEN PREFERRING A HIGH SENSITIVITY TO A LOW SENSITIVITY CAMERA?

Sensitivity is particularly important in low-light uorescence, and if small changes in uorescence need to be detected. The sensitivity of a camera

determines how clear the image produced is: a camera with high sensitivity has a high signal-to-noise ratio, as it has a high capacity to capture

signal from the surrounding noise. A longer exposure time can also improve the signal-to-noise ratio. Dark noise also aects sensitivity and

therefore image clarity.

WHEN PREFERRING A COOLED TO A NON-COOLED CAMERA?

Cooling systems aect the dark noise, which then aects sensitivity and therefore image clarity. Dark noise is dened as the noise caused by

the liberation of electrons in the chip by environmental heat. Dark noise can be dramatically reduced by cooling the camera, but this is often
expensive...

«Pixel Shift» function

Fluorescence ilter cubes, sometimes, are not perfectly aligned.
During acquisition of multichannel luorescence images, this can cause a non perfect overlapping of the different signals, making the
colocalization calculation almost impossible.
«Pixel Shift» function allows to correct these small misalignments:
