Toshiba Imaging Systems Division has announced an OEM relationship with Dage-MTI to introduce two high-definition cameras designed specifically for microscopy applications.
Dage-MTI's Realview HD Microscope Cameras combine Toshiba Imaging's proprietary imaging technology with specially formatted, preset values for use in critical microscopy applications.
The single-chip Realview HD-210 Microscope Camera operates at 1,080p, 60fps, and is said to feature exceptional detail from the 2.1 million pixel sensor.
The real-time HD image provides true 1,920 x 1,080 resolution and matches exactly the pixel-to-pixel resolution of the 16:9 ratio HD monitors and DLP projectors, without vertical or horizontal stretching.
Viewing is intuitive and effective in settings such as tumour review boards, clinical rounds, pathology labs, classrooms and industrial inspection.
The Realview HD-330 Microscope Camera offers fast frame rate operation in 1,080i mode at 30fps and features smooth motion.
The high signal-to-noise ratio enables sensitivity with clear definition and colour contrast, even in low-light conditions.
Dage-MTI has incorporated Toshiba Imaging's proprietary 3CCD prism block camera technology to ensure the sharpest true HD colour imagery available.
The three-chip camera is designed for use in applications such as pathology labs, cell biology, fluorescent imaging, classroom or other teaching environments and industrial inspection.
These HD cameras are also suitable for ophthalmic and dental surgery.
Both Realview HD microscopy cameras can be connected directly to high-definition monitors via DVI-output or HDMI cables, eliminating the need for software or a PC.
The cameras can be paired with Dage-MTI's Realview Magic Box for image capture and review.
