The CoolSNAP MYO is a high resolution, high sensitivity camera for moderate to low-light life science applications. This unique cooled CCD provides 4.54µm pixel pitch, 14-bit digitisation at 20MHz, enabling high spatial resolution and an optimised frame rate for live cell imaging. Its 2.8 Megapixels and a high Quantum Efficiency enables sensitive imaging with the option for binning for a higher dynamic range as well as increased signal-to-noise performance - all while providing an ideal pixel pitch for microscopy.

What is MYO and KINO?

The CoolSNAP MYO and CoolSNAP KINO cameras are named after two motor proteins prevalent in life science research - Myosin and Kinesin. Myosin is known for its key role in muscle contraction, while Kinesin is responsible for essential functions in vesicle trafficking and mitosis. Just as these two motor proteins provide a crucial drive to cellular movement, so will the CoolSNAP MYO and CoolSNAP KINO provide a critical piece of the research solution to propel scientific progress forward in a variety of life science areas.
