Overview

The high dynamic range offered by the Leica DFC340 FX allows dark and light objects (monochrome) to be recorded and evaluated within the same image. The 2-megapixel CCD sensor in the digital camera ensures that each image reveals extraordinary detail for the most critical publication-quality. The progressive scan readout mode provides full resolution in every live and captured frame. A variety of binning and readout modes adapt to both bright and dim signals in the images to ensure near real time live speeds while reducing the chance of photo bleaching the most sensitive samples.

• The 2-Mpixel CCD provides brilliant images, 1600x1200 resolution resolves the finest details
• Features high linearity over the whole light intensity range
• 29.5 MHz pixel clock provides fast image read-out, high-speed focus, image capture (8-bit only)
• 14.75 MHz pixel clock offers reduced readout noise for high-quality images (8 and 12 bit)
• Integrated dual lens with micro lenses increases sensitivity
• Progressive-scan CCD captures full resolution in every frame
• 45 µsecond to 2 minute exposure time is ideal for very bright and low light specimens
• Live images for fast focusing and positioning, and selectable binning modes, increase light sensitivity and frame rate
• Gain control of 1x - 10x facilitates live previews of low light specimens
• Peltier cooling produces a high dynamic rangeand permits both dark and light objects to be recorded in the same image- without variations
• Easily attaches to microscopes, standard lenses, and optical equipment using the C-mount interface
• Subcompact, fanless design offers easy setup
• Reliable FireWire interface for effortless installation, hot-swapping, and laptop connectivity provides great ease of use
• Intuitive user interface with user-friendly image capture and processing functions
• Include: Leica Application Suite/Leica FireCam/Leica Twain Driver; all work with Windows and Macoperating systems and are compatible with numerous third-party software packages
• Flash & Trigger connector enables preciseintegration with shutters, filter wheels, etc
