2 Megapixel Scientific sCMOS Firewire Camera
The QImaging QICAM digital camera is designed for high-resolution, brightfield scientific and industrial applications. A progressive-scan interline CCD sensor gives a resolution of 1.4 million pixels in a 12-bit digital output
High-speed, low noise electronics provide linear digital data at frame rates up to 110 fps with binning and ROI. The IEEE 1394 FireWire™ digital interface allows ease of use and installation with a single wire
No frame grabber or external power supply is required. The QICAM includes QCapture software (Windows® and Mac OS) for real-time image preview and capture.
