The K3C color CMOS camera provides a well-balanced feature set with high frame rates, very good dynamic range, and excellent color reproduction. It delivers 12-bit/channel RGB quantifiable images. With the K3C & K3M microscope camera you can get an imaging system that is customized for your specific needs. You can scan and stitch images of large format samples in half the time compared to previous generation cameras. The K3C & K3M cameras are excellent, easy-to-use and set-up, low-noise devices. The color camera K3C can act as a workhorse for your laboratory or site.
Benefits of KC3 Colour CMOS camera:
- One camera series - multiple applications and workflows: Flexibility to image a large range of samples for life science, industrial, and clinical applications
- Fast and reliable analysis: Acquiring quantifiable data from challenging samples for improved throughput
- Excellent true-color reproduction
