High resolution; great versatility;
multi-talented, easy to install and use and cost-effective
Available in two models: EXI-AQA-R-F-M-14-C (monochrome)
and EXI-AQA-R-F-CLR-14-C (colour), these cameras were
designed to address the varied imaging requirements of a busy laboratory
- everything from high resolution brightfield imaging to low light fluorescent
protein imaging. These camera is a highly versatile addition to a busy
laboratory.
Dubbed "the laboratory workhorse", the Exi Aqua camera can
be installed and operational within minutes and features an optimized
IEEE 1394b "Firewire" interface and simple, versatile, shallow
learning-curve software that enables a variety of life-science applications.
The camera is cooled to 0 degrees C, and boasts enhanced sensitivity,
a broad spectral response, and approximately 20% less read noise than
its predecessor.
Weighing less than 1 Kg, it requires no bulky external controller and
so maximises bench real estate.
The EXi Aqua camera is backed by superior QImaging application and product
support and a two-year limited warranty.
