Scorpion Vision is offering the Pixelink Uscope software for use with the Pixelink microscope cameras.
The Pixelink Uscope software features live measurement and overlay settings, which allow users to perform measurements on the live preview image, using the crosshair or grid masks to centre and count.
The grid masks include calibration data.
Calibration marker (scale bar) can be placed on the live preview image.
The marker (scale bar) can also be automatically burned on each captured image.
Any standard file-format image can be chosen to see it above live preview image.
A time-lapse capture function supports TIF, BMP and JPG file formats.
It also includes an auto-save feature.
Video movie recordings can be saved in AVI, MPG, MPEG and MOV formats.
The edge parts of captured image by low magnification frequently have background shading, which can be removed by the shading-correction function.
The colour of the original image remains the same.
A standard image is acquired from a blank space on the slide glass, or from an out of focus image in a metallurgical specimen.
Such a standard image is used to correct the background shading of all other captured images.
The new software is also available as an upgrade to existing owners of Pixelink Capture SE.
