Nikon Digital Sight 10 - Digital Cameras - Digital Imaging & Analysis

Unprecedented high-resolution 6k and color and monochrome switching with a single camera.

The Nikon Digital Sight 10's FX-format CMOS image sensor enables instantaneous capture of images in 6k high definition. Freely switch between color and monochrome at 23.9 megapixels. This high-performance model also features a high frame rate for fast focusing on high-definition images and potential 25 mm field of view (FOV) matching Nikon inverted and upright microscopes, enabling the widest capture areas in the industry.

This model replaces the DS-Ri2 and DS-Qi2.

Color and Monochrome Modes

Color and monochrome shooting is possible with one unit. Easily switch color modes electronically (with specialized imaging software) or manually (with filters).

High-Def Observation

With 6k resolution and high image quality, images can be captured at up to 6000x3984 (23.9 megapixels for fine structures and analysis.

Fast Live Display

The Nikon Digital Sight 10 is capable of live display of 23.9-megapixel images at 9 fps or 2.1 megapixel images at 66 fps. ROI mode allows shooting any place at a higher speed.

High Sensitivity, Low Noise

The Nikon Digital Sight 10 achieves high sensitivity equivalent to ISO 200 (color mode) and ISO 800 (monochrome). Clear fluorescence observation with a high signal-to-noise ratio is possible in both modes.

Single Sensor, Consistent Shots

The Nikon Digital Sight 10 is a convenient, all-in-one camera for multiple observation applications. A single sensor captures images with consistent quality, even when switching color modes.

Near-Infrared Images

The Nikon Digital Sight 10's monochrome mode supports near-infrared (700 nm–) fluorescence image capture, something conventional color cameras struggle to do. This camera is suited to fluorescence image capture of thick samples and samples with weak phototoxicity.

Wide Field of View

The Nikon Digital Sight 10 features the widest capture areas in the industry. Capture images over a wider area in one shot: a 25mm field of view is possible with inverted and upright microscopes. Tiled images can be created efficiently.
