Key Features

High-Definition Imaging
The DS-Fi3 is equipped with a 5.9 megapixel CMOS sensor, capable of capturing high-resolution images up to 2880 x 2048 pixels. This allows for detailed observation and documentation of samples.

High Sensitivity and Low Noise
With improved quantum efficiency and reduced readout noise compared to previous models, the DS-Fi3 delivers brighter images and higher signal-to-noise ratios, especially beneficial for fluorescence imaging.

High-Speed Live Display
Thanks to its fast data readout and USB 3.0 interface, the DS-Fi3 provides live image display at 15 frames per second at full resolution (2880 x 2048 pixels) and 30 frames per second at 1440 x 1024 pixels. This ensures smooth focusing and easy selection of observation areas.

Excellent Color Reproducibility
Nikon’s advanced color algorithms ensure lifelike and accurate color reproduction, faithfully representing the actual appearance of samples.

Direct PC Connection
The camera connects directly to a PC via USB 3.0, allowing for camera control and image capture using Nikon’s NIS-Elements imaging software.
