Olympus has introduced the new, easy-to-use SC100 digital
colour camera for high quality brightfield imaging, especially where optimal
colour reproduction and superior resolution are required. The 10.5 megapixels
sensor of the SC100 allows samples to be investigated in minute detail,
particularly when using a low magnification objective. This frees users from
needing to take multiple, high magnification images of a sample to preserve
resolution. Similarly, images can be easily investigated at high digital magnification
at a later date, even if this was not initially intended when using a low
magnification objective. Thus the SC100 is perfect for intensive documentation
and makes it easy to analyse your samples in detail, at a time convenient to
you and without losing sight of the bigger picture.
With the SC100 digital colour camera you can capture
in-depth image details in a single shot, without using any pixel-shift
technology. The newly implemented CMOS sensor of the SC100 packs more than 10.5
megapixels into a standard size chip, increasing its resolving power to that
approaching the resolution of the human eye when looking through the
binoculars. In order to preserve image clarity, special care has been taken to
minimise the "image noise" commonly associated with an increase in pixel
number. The SC100 also utilises Olympus's optimised colour rendering algorithms
to ensure that the colours present in the image match those seen when looking
down the binoculars. Panning and focusing are comfortable, quick and fluid
thanks to the high frame rates offered by the camera, while phase/DIC contrast
and darkfield imaging are optimised by utilising the SC100's high sensitivity
2x binning mode.
The SC100 is supported by the Olympus cellSens life science
imaging and the OLYMPUS Stream material science software packages, which offer
advanced image processing, analysis and storage. Such techniques include
"instant Extended Focal Imaging" (EFI), which makes it easy to
automatically produce an "all-in-focus" image simply by turning the focus knob,
as well as the "Multiple Image Alignment" (MIA) tool for automatically
stitching together single images to form a panoramic. The small, compact design
of the SC100 camera incorporates a 2.0 USB port, enabling quick image capture and
easy connection to a variety of computer hardware.
By using the SC100 camera as part of a complete Olympus
system, you will always be ready to discover the details.
