The CoolSNAP KINO Monochrome CCD camera is a high resolution, high sensitivity imaging solution for moderate-light life science applications. It provides high spatial resolution for capturing fine details with its 4.54µm pixel pitch with 14-bit digitisation at 20MHz. Its 2.8 Megapixels and a high Quantum Efficiency enables users to acquire exceptionally detailed images with clean backgrounds and the option to maximise performance using binning.

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.
