Hamamatsu C7780-10 CameraThe C7780-10 color camera provides very high fidelity 36 bit real color images in a single exposure, but with independent exposure times for each Red, Green, and Blue CCD.

Shutter free interline transfer design and cooling of the CCDs to 0°C makes the camera useful for both brightfield color applications as well as high dynamic range multiple color fluorescence images.

Applications

  • Color digital time-lapse recording
  • Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer studies
  • Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization studies
  • Histology, Pathology and Cytology
