The simplest ideas are sometimes the best: hands can be kept busy manipulating microscope controls, and an image captured using a foot switch
Pixera has introduced a foot switch for hands free image capture, for both Penguin and Pro series camera systems.
The Penguin/Pro-FS foot switch is a great complement to an already outstanding camera system and allows for image capture while the users hands are focussed on microscope operation.
The Penguin/Pro-FS connects directly via a 3m cable and a hot-plug type mini DIN connection to the Penguin PCI card.
The Penguin/Pro-FS is fine-tuned for precise image capture control, and its durable design will offer many years of practical usage.
