ZEISS Axiocam 820 mono

Your Sensitive 20 Megapixel Microscope Camera for Demanding, Large Field of View, Fluorescence Applications

The Axiocam 820 mono 20 megapixel camera is equipped with a large 17.5 mm diagonal back-illuminated CMOS sensor having a peak quantum efficiency of 86%. In combination with its low readout noise, this camera is the perfect choice for imaging faint fluorescence signals in living or fixed samples. Its square sensor efficiently utilizes the optical field of view of the microscope for capturing more details. The dual USB 3.0 interface enables the highest acquisition speeds without sacrificing the robustness of a standardized interface. The high performance and unmatched flexibility of the Axiocam 820 mono camera makes it the perfect choice for the most challenging samples in life science research.
