The ORCA-3CCD cooled digital color camera incorporates three cooled CCD chips, providing the rapid readout, high-resolution and superior S/N ratio of the Hamamatsu ORCA digital camera series. The three color CCDs employ an RGB prism to achieve extremely high quality color representation without color blur, performance difficult to achieve with a single-CCD camera. The CCDs used are the same as those used in the ORCA ER, providing proven high quantum efficiency and high resolution, cooled to 0°C for high sensitivity detection. It is suitable for a wide range of applications, from brightfield (ie: stained pathological specimens) to fluorescent specimens using GFP and fluorescent antibodies.
