Penguin 600CL,600CLM & 150CL - COOLED CCD Digital Camera Systems
The Penguin 600CL & Penguin 150CL are the most sophisticated Digital Camera Systems in Pixera's product range, with oustanding image quality and excellent sensitivity.  Designed specifically for the most demanding imaging requirements, both systems feature a peltier cooling device for long
exposure times, reducing the CCD operating temperature by 18^oC compared with a non-cooled condition.  Coupled with advanced frame averaging and integration functions, the system will enable you to capture fluorescence and darkfield images with reduced thermal noise.  Unlike other digital camera systems which increase resolution using software interpolation, the Penguin 600CL allows for a true optical resolution of 5.8 million pixels using Pixera's proprietary DiRactor^TM, light-swing opto-mechanical technology.  The Penguin 150CL offers you up to 1.5 Million Pixels.

The Penguin 600CLM is the latest biomedical imaging solution from Pixera. The 600CLM is a ultra-high sensitivity (0.002lux) monochrome camera. The camera provides superior sensitivity and spatial clarity for low level fluorescence applications.

Either of the systems will provide you with very high image quality, excellent sensitivity and dynamic range.  When you need the absolute highest image quality and resolution for archiving, digital zoom in and publishing, the Penguin 600CL series with its maximum 17MB, 5.8 million pixel resolution is your best choice.

A 15+ frames per second color viewfinder (600CLM monochrome only) and focus indicator makes it easy to focus.  All of Penguin 600/150 pre-exposure default settings are adjustable via easy controls and indicators in the Viewfinder application.

The included Hand Switch allow the user to remotely capture images without moving attention away from the microscope.
