Cell Biology Cameras in Microscopy

Camera technology for image capture and processing is extremely important for optical microscopy. It allows the investigation of different structures and functions. Examples of applications are medical and biological research, diagnostics, drug testing or materials science. Basler manufactures cameras that are suitable for conventional light cell biology microscopy applications as well as for fluorescence microscopy. Why? They deliver the highest image quality in real time, excellent color reproduction and a high dynamic range. They allow a reproducible, detailed examination and analysis of the finest structures.

Basler manufactures cameras for light microscopy applications including histology, cell biology, hematology and medical microbiology

Conventional Light Microscopy

Many routine microscopic applications in the scientific, biomedical and clinical laboratory area, including histology, cell biology, hematology and medical microbiology, are based on light microscopy using various lighting and contrasting methods. Cameras are a central part of these microscopy applications. They help track, discuss, record, analyze and archive images live. The cameras must reliably deliver high-resolution and sharp images with impressive color fidelity – no problem for Basler cameras.

Light Microscopy Highly Profits From the MED Feature Set Brilliant Image

Our Basler MED ace camera series perfectly fits the high requirements that customers in the Medical & Life Sciences market place on the imaging components of their systems. Light microscopy is one example within the wide range of demanding applications. Brilliant Image is one of our MED Feature Sets that make the Basler MED ace cameras outstanding. Let us have a look at two features of Brilliant Image that help to get the maximum image quality out of an image – easy and quick.

Fluorescence Microscopy

Fluorescence microscopy is a form of light microscopy. It is used in laboratory routine and diagnostics, but above all in scientific, in biomedical and clinical research. Light of a certain wavelength stimulates fluorescent dyes to glow and the light emission is detected. The smallest cellular and even molecular structures can be distinguished using fluorescence imaging. Last but not least, the camera technology is important: Thanks to low noise, high dynamic range and high sensitivity to light, Basler cameras are ideally suited for fluorescence microscopy applications.
