Page 5: Introduction
CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION Introducing the Rolera Bolt CMOS camera from QImaging. As a cost-effective solution, the Rolera Bolt is designed to meet the imaging requirements for a diverse set of applications ranging from IR-DIC to whole organism motility studies including fluorescence documentation of C. elegans and Drosophila larvae. Capable of streaming at 30 full frames per second with 1.3 mega-pixel resolution and 3e-read noise, the Rolera Bolt is... -
Page 6: Usb 2.0 Interface
The Rolera Bolt operates on both Windows based systems. QCapture Suite Software for both systems is available at www.qimaging.com. The easy-to-use QCapture software gives you complete control over the camera’s settings and image capture functions. QCapture Suite also includes a TWAIN-compliant interface that allows many Windows image-editing applications to acquire images using QImaging cameras. -

The Rolera Bolt’s exposure controls allow the user to adjust the integration time for each acquisition. By increasing the exposure time, more light is captured by the CMOS sensor and the signal to noise ratio is increased. www.qimaging.com ©2013 QImaging. All rights reserved. QI_BOLT_UM_RevA1... -

This effect may also be caused by excessive infrared (IR) illumination. Verify that your camera or ■ optical system is blocking the IR. Contact QImaging to order an IR filter. Images that do not appear “sharp” If the image does not seem “sharp,” check the format of the lens or the coupler being used on the microscope. -
