The Retiga R6™: When Pixels Rule

Great instruments don’t create greatscience, but they are essential to tellingthe story. QImaging puts the right tool inyour hands when the goal is fast, sensitive
imaging and documentation in true plugand-play fashion. With the QImaging
Retiga R6, you get a 6.0 MP camera thatfits more into your field of view. For time
lapse, tile-and-stitch or stereo microscopy,
the Retiga R6 will accelerate yourdiscoveries.
The Retiga R6 is packed with advanced
technical features that improve limits ofdetection and quantification. The camera
generates large amounts of data, but
handles it smoothly via the new super
speed USB 3.0 interface.
Inside the R6 camera, QImaging introducesIntelligent Quantification™ - on camera
intelligence features that correct for
defective pixels. Fast 50 MHz pixel
digitization increases camera frame rate togive you the speed you need to handle all
the pixels in the Retiga R6.
A great camera deserves great software foracquisition - it’s the way you interface withyour data. Ocular™ is the all new imaging
platform that’s ready to become your goto capture program. Built around controls
you are already familiar with, it will be loveat first click.
Scientific cameras are the cornerstoneof the highest performing imaging
instruments in a lab. Through carefulselection of image sensors andcomponents, the R6 will redefine yourexpectations, even for routine applications.
You will not find a more capable large FOV
camera on the market for this price…
