Cameras for Microscopy

For even better, unprecedented sensitivity as well as high dynamic range, blazing fast speeds, large field of view, and excellent resolution check out the ORCA-Flash4.0.

The ORCA-Flash2.8 is suitable for various applications including brightfield imaging, low-light fluorescence imaging, and high-speed imaging. For brightfield applications, this camera offers excellent dynamic range and high resolution. For fluorescence and NIR DIC applications, it has sensitivity combined with speed and dynamic range. The camera’s frame rate is ideal for high-speed imaging such as in-vivo imaging, patch clamping, and other dynamic biological events.
