DS-Qi2

The DS-Qi2 camera utilises the full-frame Nikon FX 16.25 megapixel CMOS sensor, providing outstanding monochrome image quality.

Full Frame Nikon FX Format CMOS Sensor

The DS-Qi2 camera provides astonishing image quality from the 16.25 megapixel CMOS sensor.

The result is excellent monochrome reproduction with a maximum resolution of 4908×3264 pixels at a frame rate of 6fps, 1636×1088 pixels at 45fps.

Product Highlights

High Resolution Digital Images

Images are captured with a high signal-to-noise ratio.

Sensitivity settings span the range from ISO800 to ISO51200, allowing image capture from very bright to extremely dark materials.

High Sensitivity, Low Noise

The DS-Qi2 captures and rapidly stores images at a resolution up to 4908×3264 pixels.

The camera is ideally suited to photomicrography of ultra-fine structures, even when light levels are extremely low, for example when dealing with innovative industrial materials.

Excellent Linearity

With a linearity error of +/- 1%, the DS-Qi2 is a superb tool for measuring very low light intensity.
