Download Nikon DS-Qi2 Brochure

A 16.25 megapixel monochrome camera that perfectly captures low light fluorescence and large fields of view.
For the first time ever, Nikon has equipped with a Nikon digital SLR camera FX-format CMOS sensor and optimized it for microscopy. The result is an ultra-high quality 16.25 megapixel monochrome camera that features high pixel density, high sensitivity and low noise, making it an excellent choice for applications in quantitative fluorescence imaging.

Key Features

High Sensitivity
Detects even faint fluorescent signals7.3μm pixels, high quantum efficiency, and very low read noise allow the DS-Qi2 to read in even faint fluorescent signals.

Excellent Linearity
Reliable quantitative analysis made possibleWith a linearity error of ±1%, the DS-Qi2 is a superb tool for measuring intensities in fluorescence samples, including timebases intensity measurement and radiometric meassurement.

High Frame Rate
Fast focusing, even with fluorescent imagesWith a high-sensitivity CMOS sensor and USB 3.0-based data transfer, the DS-Qi2 enables high-speed live imaging and image capture at up to 45 fps (1636×1088 pixels).

Low Noise
Acquires dim fluorescent signals with ultra-low noise 2.2 electrons read noise coupled with a large full-well capacity allows the acquisition of fluorescence images with very little noise and very high dynamic range.

Time-lapse Photography
Fluorescent time-lapse imaging through integration with NIS-Elements software​
