Potential SPAM:Re: ? of compatability of camera with ImageJ software

[Jeffrey S. Putter, M.D.]

Dear Members:

This is a follow-up to the valuable input provided by G. Landini.
I have spoken with Qimaging Corporation regarding the
following monochrome CCD cameras. My understanding is
that the QICAM cameras are ImageJ compatible.
Does the improved camera image
as a result of cooling warrant an additional $1,000 USD expense?

QICAM 12-bit Mono Fast 1394
Model: QIC-F-M-12
1392 x 1040 pixels
12 bit
Binning up to 8 x 8
$4,490 USD pretax; $2,287.31 GBP

and

QICAM 12-bit Mono Fast 1394 Cooled
Model: QIC-F-M-12-C
1392 x 1040 pixels
12 bit
Binning up to 8 x 8
$5,490 USD pretax; $2,796.73 GBP

I intend to measure the perimeters and areas of red blood cells in dark
field photomicrosocopy.
I intend to visualize aberrations of the red blood cell membrane
morphology ((blebs and spicules) using phase contrast microscopy.
QIMAGE Corp recommended dark field microscopy for optimal
imaging regarding red blood cell membrane edge detection.
QIMAGE Corp recommended a monochrome CCD camera for improved
image resolution versus color.
