Dear List,

I am looking for a budget camera (under 1K) for a microinjection/routine fluorescence rig. I will do the microinjection in phase contrast and need some fluorescence capability to check for microinjected fluorescent beads and fluorescent cells. I am not too sure if CMOS or CCD are better for the job. Port-wise USB, Firewire or GigE would be all fine. A higher frame rate capability (e.g. 25 fps) would be great as well as a resolution around one megapixel. Ideally it should be supported by either Matlab or Micromanager.
Which model/company provides the best bang for the buck in your opinion?

I would appreciate your suggestions!

Thanks!

Jens
