There are basically 3 categories of cooling when it comes to low light cameras: no cooling whatsoever […]

    Pt Grey Camera Driver for MicroManager unleashes low-cost microscopy

    Let’s say you want to build an imaging system, but you want to attach 2 cameras for time-correlated 2 channel imaging. The limiting factor for such an arrangement is usually cost, that cost being $10,000 USD per camera means $20,000 for such a setup! A result of this is most researchers end up not using […]
