Meiji Techno's new range of digital cameras
29-Apr-08
Meiji Techno has released the latest in CMOS digital camera technology. With scientific-grade, defect-free sensors, these high quality cameras are designed to be a cost-effective versatile solution for documentation of microscopy imaging where high resolution is required. The DK Series cameras have great sensitivity and very low noise figures. The included software features include auto and manual white balance, full exposure control and ROI (region-of-interest). The DK series deliver outstanding image quality for a wide variety of production or scientific applications.
The cameras offer an extended range of user-convenient benefits including a high-speed USB2.0 interface that eliminates having to install cards or other hardware. They use low noise image sensors that deliver crisp colour quality for the most demanding brightfield and darkfield microscopy applications including clinical pathology and cytology, life sciences and geology.
Full color sub-windowing allows for rapid focus and scanning of samples. The cameras have selectable 8 and 10 bit pixel data modes. Each pixel contains 30 bits of colour image information resulting in 1024 intensity values per colour.
The industry standard TWAIN interface results in rapid image capture for archiving and documentation, high throughput applications, demanding research environments and teaching facilities. Drivers and plugins allow support for MatLab R2006, LabView and Image Pro platforms.
The compact design features standard C-mount facilitating installation on all microscope configurations including trinocular, inverted front camera port and stereomicroscopes.
The DK Series requires no power supply as the camera takes its power from the USB bus (~2.5 watts). This means with a laptop, images can be generated in the field. Finally, the Meiji cameras come with Infinity Capture and Infinity Analyze software.
