Product overview
Capture fluorescence and color images with the K7 CMOS microscope camera, designed to increase throughput and temporal resolution for a wide range of microscopy workflows.

Flexibility: fluorescence and colour imaging

• Single camera for both high-quality colour brightfield and fluorescence acquisitions across multiple applications.
• Adjust imaging area quickly to application needs using the Smart ROI (patented/pending) feature.

Achieve more: increased throughput
Convert microscopes into high-performance tile-scanning systems to process larger sample sets more quickly.

• Up to 2.5× faster high-resolution scanning via hardware triggering (vs K3C and legacy DFC7000).
• Optimized synchronization with LAS X navigator and Synapse enables higher sustained scan speeds.
• Faster dataset collection improves statistical power and reduces time-dependent sample degradation.

Built for speed: high-temporal-resolution imaging
Record dynamic and fast-moving specimens on Leica microscopes with high temporal fidelity.

• Up to 6× faster in transmitted light for selected modes.
• Maximum frame rates up to 133 fps for time-critical imaging.
• Streaming mode available to reach top frame rates even without hardware triggering.

Boost sensitivity
Smart ROI allows use of the large sensor with demagnifying C-mount optics to increase effective pixel size and fluorescence sensitivity by cropping the active sensor area to the region of interest.

Applications
Colour CMOS camera suitable for brightfield tile scans (H&E), fluorescence tile scans and live high-temporal-resolution imaging for research, pathology and industrial microscopy workflows.
