The Apex AP-1600T-USB-LS is a 3-CMOS prism-based R-G-B area scan camera intended for microscopy applications in the medical and life sciences markets. The multi-sensor prism technology provides better color fidelity and spatial precision than traditional Bayer color cameras, while the USB3 Vision interface offers excellent plug and play compatibility.

The camera is built around the PregiusTM IMX273 1/2.9-inch sensor featuring 1456 x 1088 pixels and pixel sizes of 3.45 µm x 3.45 µm. A standard C-mount can be easily adapted to most types of digital microscopes or can be used with a variety of standard or telecentric lenses in larger systems.

The camera can be optionally ordered with the IR-cut filter removed (AP-3200T-USB-NF-LS) for applications needing extended sensitivity in the red/NIR channel. Drivers/device adapters are available for the popular ImagePro software from Media Cybernetics (sold separately), as well as for the open source Micro-Manager software package.

Exceptionally accurate color image data

Using a special prism-based imaging technique, the incoming light is separated into red, green and blue wavelengths, captured by three precisely-aligned CMOS sensors. The result is better color accuracy and spatial precision than traditional color cameras using the Bayer mosaic technique.

High resolution combined with high frame rate

The AP-1600T-USB-LS is built around three Sony Pregius IMX273 sensors. Combined with a USB3 Vision interface, this machine vision camera can output as much as 3 x 1.6 megapixels at 78.9 frames/second in full resolution.

Compatibility with third-party microscopy software

The AP-1600T-USB-LS is compatible with the widely-used ImagePro software from Media Cybernetics. Or if open source is preferred, device adapters are included at no cost in the latest release of the Micro-Manager software package.

Typical applications where Apex Series "LS" microscopy cameras are especially suitable

The Apex Series cameras are the ideal choice if you have microscopy applications where you need very accurate color data and high spatial precision.

Imaging in ophthalmology

Eye examination looking at interior features such as the retina, optic nerve head and microcirculation in blood vessels.

Live cell imaging

Imaging of cells, bacteria, and body fluid samples under a microscope or in tissue scanners.

Fluorescence microscopy

Excellent sensitivity for fluorescence applications such as bacteria counting, disease diagnosis, neuron signaling, and more.

Endoscopy/surgical imaging

Imaging inside the human body and organs. Surgical imaging via microscopes or ceiling mounted cameras.

Pathology

Tissue slice analysis, stain analysis, cell counting, cell classification and other applications in the pathology field.
