Application of a cooled-ccd astronomy camera to biological imaging

ORAL

Abstract

A cooled-ccd digital camera (Santa Barbara Instrument Group ST-6) originally intended for astronomical observation has been modified for use in fluorescent/luminescent imaging for biological studies. Enhanced cooling techniques to achieve low-noise conditions and typical applications in biological work will be described.
