Overview
The Nikon Digital Sight 50M is a high-performance monochrome microscope camera engineered for demanding research, high-throughput screening, and advanced imaging applications. Featuring a large-format CMOS sensor (Nikon FX format) with ultra-high resolution (≈ 60 megapixels), it captures expansive, detail-rich fields of view — making it especially ideal for imaging large sample arrays (e.g. well plates), tissue slides, or any specimens requiring both breadth and fine detail.
Designed with sensitivity and precision in mind, the Digital Sight 50M excels even under low-light or fluorescence conditions: its high quantum efficiency (~85% at 500 nm), large full-well capacity, and low readout noise provide clean, high-contrast images with minimal noise — ideal for fluorescence imaging, time-lapse studies, and quantitative analysis.
Additionally, it supports flexible imaging workflows: multiple image acquisition modes (full-frame, ROI, binning), fast data transfer via USB 3.2 Gen 1, and integration with dedicated imaging software (NIS-Elements) for downstream analysis — making it a robust solution for applications ranging from drug discovery to cell biology, materials research, or industrial inspection.
In summary: Digital Sight 50M combines ultra-high resolution, wide field-of-view, high sensitivity, and workflow flexibility — offering a powerful and efficient imaging platform for modern microscopy demands.
