Hamamatsu Photonics Announces the ORCA-D2 Dual CCD Camera with Interchangeable Optical Blocks for Simultaneous Dual Wavelength Imaging

Hamamatsu Photonics has announced that in spring 2010, they will release the new ORCA-D2, a new high-sensitivity camera for simultaneous dual wavelength imaging that features two CCD devices and interchangeable optical blocks.

The ORCA-D2 offers exceptional ease of use with optical setup steps such as image alignment and focusing. As an added advantage over conventional ratio imaging techniques, the ORCA-D2 also provides a wide field of view during dual wavelength imaging. The ORCA-D2 is suitable for wide variety of fluorescence microscopy applications including ratio imaging, FRET and dual wavelength TIRF.

The new ORCA-D2 will be exhibited in December at both the 49th Annual Meeting of the American Society for Cell Biology, San Diego Convention Center and the 32nd Annual Meeting of the Molecular Biology Society of Japan, Pacifico Yokohama.
