ZEISS Axiocam 305 mono
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.
