Olympus Camera Control
All functions of the XC10 camera can be completely controlled and operated via the modular Discover/Stream image-analytical software. No matter what current acquisition conditions are, real-time functions guarantee that the entire dynamic range is utilized. This ensures optimal contrast all the time. Following acquisition, XC10''''s total integration into analysis provides the full range of options ad advantages of the latest in image processing and analysis, from image labeling to archiving, report generation and e-mailing all the way on to photo-realistic printouts ?and there''''s no more need for the darkroom.
High sensitivity
The XC10 camera has a resolution of 1,376 x 1,032 pixels. Highly efficient readout technology (Correlated Double Sampling) coupled with Peltier-cooling of the CCD chip results in images of superior signal-to-noise ratio. Highly sensitive CCD elements are capable of detecting even the faintest signals. The electronic shutter offers variable exposure times ranging from 0.1 miliseconds to 160 seconds.
High frame rate
The high speed ADC (Analog-Digital Converter) working at a clock rate of 24 MHz in full 14-bit dynamic range is able to perform double sampling even at a readout rate of 24.5 MHz. Various frame rates are supported by this camera. For example, the camera can be set to acquire at a high frame rate of more than 15 fps at TV resolution using 2x binning. View your zoomed-in sample, locate the area of interest and focus ?all conveniently onscreen. No longer are you forced to trade off speed for quality. For acquisition the system switches automatically into the high-resolution mode. This avoids bleaching of your fluorescence specimen and offers optimal performance when setting parameters.
Easy installation
FireWire?technology guarantees that the XC10 installation is easy on any PC or laptop equipped with a FireWire?port. The days when you were limited to a frame grabber and just a single camera are history. FireWire?technology enables you to use multiple cameras on the same PC. The XC10 can be mounted onto all light microscopes with a C-mount adaptor. Plus, you only need one cable for getting data and power to the PC''''s FireWire?port. No more clutter and no ''''octopus'''' of cables getting in your
