Original Press Release:
Meiji Techno Announces New Range of Digital Cameras
April, 2008, Axbridge, UK: Meiji Techno announces 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 delivers 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 color 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 & 10 bit pixel Data modes. Each pixel contains 30 bits of color image information resulting in 1024 intensity values per color.
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 stereo microscopes.
The DK Series requires no power supply. 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. Visit www.meijitechno.com for more information.
