Olympus has today released the new ultra resolution DP73
and DP73WDR digital cameras, for quality without compromise in brightfield and
fluorescence imaging. The new multi-purpose cameras leverage Olympus's
expertise in pixel shift sensors and high-end consumer DSLR camera design to
generate extremely detailed and accurately coloured images. This is achieved
using the company's new ‘3CCD mode' and ‘Fine Detail Process' technologies. In
addition, the DP73WDR employs the Olympus WiDER (Wide Dynamic Range) technology
to ensure that each specific image area is always optimally exposed, regardless
of any differences in intensity. Both cameras also include a high-definition
live mode that makes sample browsing using the monitor comfortable, fluid and
easy. The Olympus DP73 and DP73WDR are the ideal choice for vivid and accurate
imaging, fully utilising the high quality offered by the optics of your
microscope system.
The new Olympus DP73 and DP73WDR digital cameras provide
high resolution, accurate and vibrant colour reproduction, as well as effective
fluorescence performance thanks to active Peltier cooling. New technological
innovations such as an improved sensor chip and pixel-shifting mechanism
provide an unprecedented maximum resolution of 17.28 megapixels. In addition,
the ‘3CCD mode' improves colour accuracy by capturing true RGB values for every
recorded pixel without the need for colour interpolation. This produces high
quality images free from artefacts at any zoom level, generating results
similar to those obtained using cameras with three dedicated monochrome sensor
chips.
For the first time, Olympus's ‘Fine Detail Process'
technology, which was developed for the high end Olympus E-5 consumer DSLR
camera, has been included in a microscope camera. This allows the DP73 and
DP73WDR to produce crystal clear images at all magnifications. Imaging using
sensitive fluorescence dyes is extremely easy, thanks to the ‘photobleaching
correction mode', which automatically adjusts for changes in intensity such as
those that occur during sensor pixel-shifting. The new progressive readout sensor also
offers a fluid 15 fps ‘live mode' at a resolution of 1600x1200 pixels, as well
as working in the Adobe
® RGB colour space, representing subtle
colour differences with exceptional accuracy. Browsing the sample using the
monitor provides strain-free viewing, while allowing data to be easily shared
with colleagues in high definition.
On top of all these benefits, the DP73WDR also includes
Olympus's WiDER technology, which automatically optimises tonal curves and gain
in each region of the image. This occurs in real-time and, together with the
broad sensitivity range (ISO 100-1600), minimises the effects of under- or
overexposure, clearly showing all the details in very bright and very dark
areas at the same time. The new Olympus DP73 and DP73WDR cameras incorporate
the latest technological innovations required to produce images with
outstanding detail, clarity and colour fidelity. When used as part of an
integrated microscopy system utilising Olympus optics, frames and software,
what you see using the oculars is exactly what you get on the monitor screen.
