The PL-B872CU-KIT is a 1.45 megapixel color CCD camera suited for a wide range of microscopy applications including bright field, dark field and fluorescence. The PL-B872CU-KIT is available with a USB 2.0 interface providing further flexibility while ensuring plug-and-play connectivity for simple setup and use.

The PL-B872CU-KIT uses a 1.45 megapixel Sony progressive scan sensor that provides a maximum image resolution of 1392 x 1040 with a frame rate of 15 fps. The enhanced sensitivity of the CCD sensor combined with low dark current, low smear and excellent anitblooming result in low noise images with excellent color reproduction. Support for 8-bit, 10-bit and 12-bit digitization further improves image quality.

Providing high-resolution imaging capability for both bright field and dark field microscopy, PixeLINK's 800 series microscopy cameras are an excellent choice for use in histology, pathology, hematology, material science and fluorescence environments.

Added flexibility is offered through this camera's support for multiple software interfaces. Included with all PixeLINK microscopy camera kits is PixeLINK Capture SE, a full-featured image acquisition and processing application. Using PixeLINK Capture SE, users can view live video, capture and save images, annotate and measure on captured images as well as archive data in a database.

Additional supported software interfaces include TWAIN, DirectShow and Image Pro Plus allowing the PL-B872CU-KIT to be compatible with a number of acquisition and analysis software packages.
