MyoCam-S3: High-Speed Contractility Camera
The IonOptix MyoCam-S3™ is our third generation MyoCam. Featuring a faster, higher resolution CMOS sensor, it is uniquely designed for use with IonOptix Contractility Systems where high frame rates and sub-micron resolution are required to capture myocyte shortening. The MyoCam-S3™ is an all-digital, variable field rate camera that utilizes the USB3 Vision standard for higher data transfer rates over its USB2 predecessor while retaining an easy-to-use plug and play interface. Power and data occur over the same lockable USB3 cable, enabling simple, secure setup and connectivity with better performance and a lower performance overhead. The MyoCam-S3™ gives you complete control of all aspects of video acquisition to deliver the optimum combination of temporal and spatial resolution, making it the ideal choice for superior myocyte data acquisition.
