DS-Ri2 Color Cooled SCMOS
Nikon has optimized the digital SLR camera CMOS sensor and image processing technologies for microscope imaging to develop a high-definition color camera. With 16.25 million pixels, the DS-Ri2 is the ideal camera for brightfield or cross-over applications where high resolution, great color fidelity and large pixel count images are important to an end-user.
The DS series enables one-shot instantaneous capture and fast storage of images with resolution as high as 4908 x 3264 pixels, without pixel shifting or pixel stepping. This pixel density is ideally suited for photomicrography of ultra-fine structures or patterns in biological or industrial samples, at low or high magnifications.

Nikon is a leader in development of algorithms for reproducing color just as the eyes see it
The DS models' new image processing engine is based on extensive data accumulated over many years of developing microscope color digital cameras, resulting in perfect reproduction of the colors your eyes see in the microscope.


High-speed display, even of supra-HDTV-class live images
The DS-Ri2 can display 4908x3264 pixel (full-pixel) images at 6 fps, or 1636x1088 pixel (3x3 pixel averaging) images at 45 fps. This fast live frame rate makes fine focusing easy to perform.

Fluorescent color image capture with high signal to-noise ratio
Sensitivity settings that span the range from ISO200 to ISO12800 allow the capture of vivid fluorescent color images.
