4-MEGAPIXEL CAMERA LINK CAMERA
The MegaPlus EE 4.0/E digital camera incorporates a 2048 x
2048 pixel CCD-based sensor from Eastman Kodak and an optional
Camera Link digital interface. The ES 4.0/E captures up to
15 full frames per second with a spatial resolution of over
four million pixels. This camera is specifically designs for
monitoring critical events requiring high resolution, such
as digital radiography, and is also well-suited for such machine
vision applications as wafer inspection. Features include
12-bit readout, electronic shuttering to 98 microseconds,
low noise output and uniformity of response across the entire
image.

PHASE CONTRAST FOR MICROSCOPES
QPm V2.0 is a new software system for phase contrast microscopy,
providing phase and intensity data independently utilizing
conventional brightfield optics. The QPm software system offers
improved clarity of transmission and reflection images on
upright or inverted microscopes, as well as stereo microscopes.
QPm provides flexibility in image construction and data analysis.
A full suite of phase contrast techniques include Pure Phase
images, a new contrast mechanism; LM phase images such as
PC, DIC, HMC and Darkfield; abd the ability to go directly
from conventional brightfield images in just seconds. QPm
V2.0 makes possible non-interventional imaging of live cells
without the need for staining or fixing.
