We are delighted to offer a range of selected and tested scientific cameras from industry leading manufacturers to run with our products and systems. Recent advances have made it increasingly difficult to characterise scientific microscope cameras based on user application or camera technology, but (to avoid the bewildering list seen on some websites) we have done our best. As with other third-party (and in some cases competing) products we are fiercely independent and will always recommend what we believe to be the best scientific camera for your application.

Firstly, there are what we would call entry-level microscope cameras, which are primarily aimed at transmitted light techniques, fixed samples and non-quantitative requirements. In most fields these would be considered to be high end products, but from a live-cell fluorescence imaging standpoint the detector is arguably the second most important component, after the objective lens, so it makes sense to invest in a device with comprehensive support, high dynamic range, high sensitivity and appropriate resolution and field of view. Where prices have dropped for these cameras over the years, all of the digital microscope cameras we supply for fluorescence will perform at least as well as devices costing two or three times more a few years ago.
