High Speed, High Sensitivity, High Dynamic Range

Nikon has added the high speed DS-Vi1 colour camera to its market-leading range of Digital Sight cameras for microscopic imaging. The DS-Vi1 offers high frame rates and increased sensitivity for both multiple live image and sharp still image capture, making it ideal for high end biological research, clinical analysis and documentation as well as medical teaching use. The DS-Vi1 features a 2- megapixel colour CCD with outstanding SXGA video display rates of up to 27 frames per second possible and effortless fast focusing. In addition, the DS-Vi1 offers high sensitivity and a wide dynamic range of more than 600:1, enabling the
capture of clear, sharp images.

Offering all of the convenience and features of the DS series, the DS-Vi1 can be combined, via a USB 2.0 interface, with either the stand-alone Nikon DS-L2 control unit or the DS-U2 PC control-based unit. The DS-L2 features a large 8.4 inch highdefinition LCD monitor and allows live observation, camera control and image capture via simple on-screen menus without connection to a PC. In addition, the DS-Vi1 can be controlled
by Nikon’s acclaimed NIS-elements software. With the DS-U2 PC control unit, live images can be viewed, recorded, measured, processed, and analysed with integrated control of the camera and microscope peripherals.
