Colour Microscope Cameras with Advanced Editing Software
Oct 27 2010
Three new color camera models from Aven, Inc upgrade any microscope with one-click image capture and storage capability. The scientific-grade imaging systems include software with extensive options for user-defined
processing, measurement and analysis. Two CMOS models and a high-end CCD version support versatile applications in biotechnology research, medical labs and science education. Each shoots in still or video mode.
The accompanying software, released recently as version 7.0 of a leading image processing program, allows measurement, annotation, colour change, contrast manipulation, stripping, reversal, dithering and other advanced editing to optimise image quality for varied needs.
Each camera attaches easily to any trinocular port. A USB 2.0 interface connects to desktop or laptop computers. CMOS models have 1.3 or 3.0 megapixel resolution, with 1/3" or 1/2" colour sensor chips, respectively. White balance and exposure control can be automatic or adjusted manually. An electronic rolling shutter shoots 11 to 30 frames per second, depending on resolution. Accessories provided include a calibration scale, six-foot USB high-speed cable, C-mount adapter and two eyepiece mount adapters.
For low-light microscopy, Aven offers a 3.3 megapixel CCD model suited to fluorescence or dark field imaging. With high-quality colour reproduction over a wide range of light conditions, this camera’s 1/1.8" Sony CCD Sensor chip makes it ideal for advanced clinical, ophthalmic, scientific and materials analysis applications. Features include programmable gain, sub-windowing and region-of-interest selection. Shutter speed range is 5 to 30 frames per second. The software CD, compatible with Windows XP and Vista, also is included.
These functions can be performed via a familiar Windows interface, with a choice of horizontal toolbar or vertical menu shortcuts. The CD includes a 55-page illustrated User Guide with image processing steps.
