Camera for Microscopy Imaging Ensures Excellent Color Reproduction

The camera is designed to capture fast frame rates and has an excellent cost-to-performance ratio. This makes it an ideal introductory model for any applications requiring digital image acquisition.

With a native resolution of 2048 x 1532 pixels and multiple binning modes (2x, 3x, and 4x), the camera is able to achieve high levels of sensitivity and fast frame rates during live cell imaging. Using the 4x binning mode, 49 frames per second (fps) can be captured at a resolution of 508 x 384 pixels. Exposure times can be set from 57 µs to 1.75 s, enabling the user to be in complete control of the image acquisition process.

The new camera is a product of Olympus (Hamburg, Germany). Using a 3.3 megapixel CMOS chip, the SC30 camera is excellent for use in standard brightfield applications, as well as for simple digital documentation purposes. Data are easily transferable via a single, high-speed USB 2.0 cable. In combination with the Olympus cell and analysis software packages, the user is able to ensure seamless and precise coordination of the microscope, camera, and any peripheral devices.

Olympus has updated its digital microscopy imaging camera range to provide faster imaging capabilities for each camera, ensuring that users can catch events as they happen. The entire range now features the unique Olympus True Color (OTC) system which uses internal ICC reference profiles to ensure consistency between the input and output colors, as well as between different cameras.
