The Olympus DP72 microscope digital camera combines fast high-resolution image capture and transfer rates with the performance of Adobe RGB image display for high-fidelity colour reproduction.
The DP72 captures a 12.8 megapixel, 4140 x 3096, full-resolution image with high colour fidelity, clarity and detail in under 2.5 seconds.
It can also capture streams of high-resolution live images at 15fps.
It offers a choice of Adobe RGB and SRGB displays for broader colour reproduction, a PCI-Express (PCI-E) interface for faster uncompressed image transfer (24 bit), plus optional laptop connectivity for maximum flexibility.
The camera is optimised for researchers carrying out fluorescence imaging with dimly fluorescing specimens and for pathologists that require the best possible colour fidelity for diagnostic purposes.
The DP72 achieves 12.8-million-pixel resolution with pixel shifting technology.
It is cooled by a Peltier element to a maximum of Ta-10C.
With its high-sensitivity, 2/3in, 1.45-million pixel CCD, equivalent 1600 ISO sensitivity, low noise and piezoelectric motor, Olympus said that the DP72 provides fast, reliable performance.
The choice of Adobe RGB or SRGB offers versatility.
Adobe RGB is a colour space with far broader colour reproduction than SRGB, as defined by the international IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) standard.
Although colour in every region is broadened, colours in the cyan/green region are particularly enhanced with Adobe RGB performance, making the camera a suitable choice for live cell imaging.
A PCI-E serial transfer interface allows faster data transfer, particularly for large, uncompressed image files.
The camera's software, which can also be used to operate Olympus motorised microscopes, helps streamline workflow with a customisable toolbar for control over image acquisition and management.
Measurement functions and image stitching are available.
The DP72 features a standard C-mount for attachment to most microscopes.
