Photron Announces New High Speed Camera For Biofluorescence Microscopy



December 4, 2006- San Diego, CA - Photron, Inc., a global leader in high speed imaging and image analysis software, announces the FocusScope SV-200i, a new, slow motion video system for the study of biofluorescence. The high speed microscopy camera's Gen III image intensifier is bonded directly to the CMOS sensor and provides full 512 x 512 pixel resolution, operating at 2000 frames per second. Additional features of low-light-level framing and gray scale enhancement provide clear imagery across a wide spectral range from the visible to the ultraviolet wavelengths.

Photron's newest high speed video system features both high sensitivity and high quantum efficiency and is designed to attach to any conventional confocal or electron microscope's camera port via a standard C-mount. The SV 200i camera system is based on the same high speed imaging technology that has been successfully integrated into Photron's advanced imaging FASTCAM 512 PC camera.

The FocusScope SV-200i is ideal for slow motion analysis of biofluorescence. Other applications include fluorescent imaging of micro PIV: high speed video imaging of intracellular calcium ions, quantum dot response measurement, and high speed imaging of blood cells. Photron's new high speed video system includes the camera head with intensifier, the FASTCAM 512 PCI board and camera cable. Available in a convenient Pelican carrying case, the FocusScope SV-200i is easy to use with any conventional microscope.
