Key Features

Low-Noise Design
Low-noise design allows clear, low-light image capture: Highly sensitive CCD chip and Nikon's exclusive signal-to-noise digital circuit technology design now exhibits a sensitivity more than twice that of previous models, making low light fluorescence image documentation possible with outstanding results. The new CCD's enhanced quantum efficiency allows a greater spectral sensitivity, especially in the red and near infrared part of the color spectrum. Gain can be set in three levels and long exposure times are also available.

High Speed Data Transfer
High speed data transfer to accommodate work efficiency and precision: Live image displays at high speed data transfers of 12 frames per second for precise viewing and focusing surpasses previous imaging standards.

High-Performance Intuitive Software
Intuitive ACT-1 software operational capabilities simplify imaging enhancements and corrections with the click of the mouse. Live field of view frames available to capture the precise on-screen image at up to 14 different file modes & image size.

Direct PC-to-Camera Connection
The DXM1200F camera head connects to the PC via a single cable to the PCI interface board installed into the computer without additional wiring or power source.

Wide Selection of Magnifications
Standard C-mount attachment of the DXM1200F camera allows a wide selection of magnifications: Nikon has developed a new wide-field relay lens exclusively for the DXM1200F. Nikon recommends the C Mount 0.7X DXM Relay Lens, designed to provide less shading and more flatness in the images [optional].
