ORCA 05
This entry level camera boasts the same high sensitivity sensor as its more powerful cousin the ORCA-R2, but costs less than half price. A complete system including software and PC is typically about £5,000 The 05 is powered directly from your PC fire wire port and is supplied with free image capture software. It is more than capable of imaging even relatively weak fluorescence signals and has all the readout functions such as pixel binning and variable gain settings associated with high performance camera systems. It is well suited to imaging fixed sections, and is particularly useful for probe imaging on electrophysiology rigs.
