Olympus Life Science Europa has launched the 12.8 megapixel DP72 digital microscopy camera.
The DP72 digital camera features advanced image processing capabilities, making it ideal for pathology applications where faithful colour reproduction is essential for clear and consistent diagnoses.
The re-mastered pixelshift technology provides high-definition images.
The camera captures a 12.8 megapixel (4,140 x 3,096 pixels), full-resolution image in less than 2.5s.
It provides a range of image resolutions to suit all magnifications and experimental requirements.
In live-mode, 1360 x 1024 pixel images can be displayed at 15 frames per second (FPS) without any colour shift during sample movement, making it ideal for live imaging documentation.
Additionally, even if a specimen is wholly or partially dark, the DP72 can record black and white images with sensitivity and low background noise.
This precision is ensured for the faintest of images, via the Peltier-based cooling which maintains a temperature of 10C below ambient.
The custom monochrome function allows the user to maximise the readout intensity of specific dyes by accentuating the respective pixel colour.
Sensitivity can be increased by implementing binning modes, which combine the light intensity of 2 x 2 or 4 x 4 pixel areas.
As a result, clear, sharp images are produced consistently for all illumination methods and experimental protocols.
