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 ZEISS Axiocam 705 pol (426560-9070-000)
The 5-megapixel camera for scientific single images in polarisation mode
With the Axiocam 705 pol, we present a scientific 5-megapixel camera that features a sensor with a polarisation filter mask. A single image is sufficient to capture polarisation parameters such as the angle, degree of polarisation or image content. No special additional equipment, such as an analyser in the microscope, is required. You can capture polarisation effects simultaneously across the entire field of view with just a single image. This means that you benefit from extremely fast imaging even without an analyser.
