DFC300 FX
Digital firewire color camera system for fluorescence microscopy
Leica DFC300 FX
Overview

The Leica DFC300 FX Digital Color Camera specialises in high sensitivity imaging in fluorescence for genetic research, biotechnology and medicine. The Leica DFC300 FX digital camera records live cells, sequences of motion and fluorescence specimens or particles that are susceptible to photobleaching, even at the lowest light intensities.

High sensitivity in the visible spectrum ensures reliable results in fluorescence microscopy, especially for GFP and other low illumination applications. The stylish camera housing is lightweight and compact, and easily attaches to your particular microscope. The Leica DFC300 FX camera also provides quick transfer for PC and Macs with standard FireWire.

The heart of the DFC300 FX is a 2/3" progressive scan interline sensor. Due to the high sensitivity, quickly bleaching fluorescence specimens can now be exposed rapidly and the fluorescence excitation light can be significantly reduced for sensitive live cells. Active cooling of sensor elements using a Peltier element creates noise-free images even at the lowest light intensities.


The software accompanying the camera ensures fast and easy capturing of digital images on the screen. The Leica DFC300 FX is PC or MAC compatible, and the camera is easy to operate using an interface specially designed for microscopy applications. Numerous intuitive image capture and editing functions ensure immediate availability of high quality recorded images for viewing and processing. The Leica DFC300 FX allows all the advantages of digital technology to be fully utilized.
