MICROPUBLISHER IMAGING SYSTEM

High Resolution FireWire Digital CCD Color Microscope Camera For Publication and Documentation

The QImaging MicroPublisher digital imaging system delivers high resolution color images for microscopy documentation and publication. The 3.3 megapixel CCD sensor and 30-bit color digitization produce high quality color images of brightfield, dark-field and fluorescence work. For demanding low light applications, the MicroPublisher Cooled model minimizes thermal noise during long exposure times for high quality, low light images. The FireWire™ IEEE 1394 digital interface allows ease of use and installation with a single wire connection from the camera to the computer (including laptops) for full computer control of the camera. The Micropublisher includes QCapture software for Windows® and Mac® based software systems and Adobe® Photoshop® Elements for image enhancements. A Software Development   Kit (SDK) is available for interfacing with custom software.
