ZEISS Axiocam Family
In contrast to digital cameras for photography or industrial inspection, many aspects of the microscope cameras are optimized to meet specific requirements of applications in science, research and documentation. As each application has very specific requirements, there is a wide range of different digital camera models to choose from. Different pixel sizes, for example, regulate camera sensitivity and spatial resolution. Lower pixel count enables higher frame rates and larger sensors offer better coverage of the field of view.
ZEISS Axiocam 305 mono (426560-9040-000)
Your Fast 5 Megapixel Microscope Camera for Routine Fluorescence Applications
Axiocam 305 mono your 5 megapixel camera from ZEISS for fluorescence imaging for your routine lab and enables a range of applications for live cell observation. The state-of-the-art CMOS Global Shutter technology lets you follow and capture samples accurately. Thanks to its high dynamic range, you can acquire single images with high contrasts and intensities. A dark homogenous background helps you see even the finest structural details. And it’s a really fast camera, acquiring up to 36 frames per second at full 5 megapixel resolution.
Highly sensitive sensor technology and sophisticated camera engineering means your Axiocam 305 mono will deliver reproducible results every time. The sensor is temperature-stabilized, resulting in reproducible quality and reduced background noise. Easy to use ZEN imaging software fully supports the robust camera performance by an intuitive user interface through a simple and fast USB 3.0 connection.
