Image capture system is an alternative to instant film for documentation and record keeping and is a cost effective method for overcoming issues regarding image security and software trails
Using the DS-5M-L1 all-in-one digital camera system from Nikon in combination with a microscope, images can be viewed on a dedicated screen and printed directly, without the use of a PC. The standalone DS-5M camera control unit communicates securely with an appropriate Pict-Bridge enabled printer with the aid of specialist software, to produce high quality prints as demanded by the user.
This mode of operation is ideal for 'straight-to-print' documentation, since there is no scope for the operator to change or artificially manipulate the image.
This makes it a perfect digital alternative to instant film and is a cost effective method for overcoming issues regarding image security and software trails, says Nikon.
When combined with the latest Nikon EclipseNet image archiving and networking software, users have the option to gain access to the full benefits of true state-of-the art digital microscopy.
Its powerful, built-in database supports storing, retrieving, managing, and exchanging digitised images, with a wide range of associated capture and setting information.
Such is versatility of the five-million pixel camera system that it can be used with most stereo and industrial microscopes.
All that is required is an easy to fit adaptor and minimal training.
Should users wish to store and manipulate acquired images at a later stage, they can do so and take advantage of the three scene modes and seven customised modes designed for industrial applications.
