CellCam Kikker sCMOS Camera

• Mono camera
• Pixel Size 4.63µm
• Sensor size – 13mm x 19mm

Product Description

A sensitive microscopy camera with a large field of view, ideal for brightfield, phase contrast and live cell fluorescence imaging across a range of magnifications.

The Kikker provides excellent image quality with a large field of view at an affordable price. The camera is thermoelectrically cooled giving low dark current and has ≈85% Quantum Efficiency and 12-bit digitisation which can be optimised for low light and/or high dynamic range. This is a go-to camera for versatile imaging from 1X to 100X and even includes an auxiliary high-resolution mode for diffraction limited imaging with lower magnification objectives, or 4/3 inch format macro cameras lenses. The affordable price and hardware and software triggered acquisition modes make it especially suitable for multi-camera configurations.
