Introduction; System Components - Q Imaging OptiMOS Series User Manual

CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

optiMOS from QImaging is the live cell
replacement to CCD cameras. Featuring
faster frame rates and lower noise,
optiMOS was designed as the budget
friendly alternative that avoids complex
data management in the PC. Capable
of streaming 100fps with <2e- of read
noise, optiMOS delivers 10x the temporal
resolution of CCD cameras without trading
off on resolution or sensitivity. Offered as
the affordable sCMOS solution, optiMOS
brings the advantages of low noise and
high speed imaging to a broader range of
cell biology applications.
This manual describes the installation
and configuration procedures for your
new optiMOS Scientific CMOS camera.
Descriptions of the recommended optiMOS
camera settings are also included.
