Digital cameras for microscopes
The Digital Sight series is a powerful imaging system for monitoring/capturing images taken under brightfield,
darkfield, DIC, epi-fluorescence, and other observation methods.
Ultrahigh-definition Digital Camera
Digital Camera
The DXM1200F produces true-to-life, extremely high-quality images with up to approximately 12 million output pixels. It meets
the demanding requirements of professional users and is excellent for image analysis in advanced R&D fields.
• Approx. 12 million output pixels comparable to film
high-end cameras, thanks to Nikon’s exclusive micro-
step high-density imaging technology
• Live image display at a frame rate of 12 fps max.
• The wide exposure latitude produces true-to-life
images regardless of brightness level.
Standalone type
This type comes with an LCD monitor, making it
convenient for on-screen monitoring without a PC and in
applications that require long/multiple exposures.
Real imaging camera—DS-2Mv-L1
• Live image display at 30fps max.
• Image size: 1600 x 1200 pixels
• 6.3” TFT monitor
• Analog RGB output
• CompactFlash card slot
• USB mass-storage-class
compatible
• Direct print function (Pict
bridge compatible)
optional

*1: A CP900DC dedicated printer
and C-mount adapter are
necessary. Provided with real 10
mode (10X printing).
*2: FTP Client/Server, HTTP Server Telnet Server functions provided.
PC-connection type
This type requires connection to a PC and allows
observation on a PC monitor, image capture,
measurement and analysis when special application
software, ACT-2U, is used.
Real imaging camera—DS-2Mv-U1
• Live image display at 12fps (800 x 560)
• Image size: 1600 x 1200 pixels
• PC connection via USB2.0
• Dedicated application software—ACT-2U

ACT-2
The optional ACT-2U software offers the following
arrays of convenient measurement tools.
Camera control software
ACT-1
Minimizes fatigue during large-volume, extended
time shooting.
All essential sections, including live image preview,
captured image window, thumbnail, and image
capture parameter setting panel, are simultaneously
displayed on a single screen, enabling users to easily
understand image capture procedures. The size of the
parameter setting panel has been reduced to leave more
space for image display.
