Camera control
All camera functions are fully operable via the analySIS image-analytical software. No matter what the actual acquisition conditions, real-time functions ensure that the entire dynamic range is exploited. This ensures optimally balanced contrast and superior image quality. The ColorView II's full integration into the analySIS software provides all capabilities and advantages of Soft Imaging System’s innovative solutions to all challenges of image processing and analysis, ranging from image labelling on to image archiving, report generation and e-mailing and including photo-realistic printouts – all without any need for a darkroom.

High resolution, several frame rates
The ColorView II's CCD chip has a 2048 x 1536 pixel resolution. The user sees more and measurements can be carried out with even greater precision. The ColorView II's 12-bit dynamic range provides images of 4096 grey values (or 4096 grey values per RGB channel). This camera supports three different frame rates. The special "search mode" with a frame rate of more than 25 images per second at 688 x 512 pixels makes finding suitable areas of a sample directly on the PC screen especially convenient. The "focus mode" provides 15 images per second at 1024 x 768 pixels. And at the highest resolution – 2048 x 1536 pixels – you're still getting 5 images per second. This means your focusing can be done in real time and upon image acquisition, you have images of temptingly persuasive quality. The ColorView II supports partial read-out. This mode is for setting an ROI which is smaller than the whole image. Furthermore, the ColorView II offers a black-and-white acquisition mode. The resolution of this special mode is restricted to 1024 x 768 pixels.

High sensitivity
The highly sensitive CCD elements make it possible to detect even very weak signals. The electronic shutter offers exposure times ranging up to 160 seconds. The ColorView II offers exposure times ranging from 100 µs to 160 sec. A highly efficient read-out technology (Correlated Double Sampling) in conjunction with Peltier cooling of the chip provides images with an optimal signal-to-noise ratio. Chip temperature is maintained at 10° C via Peltier elements. This causes very low noise, which in turn means that greater detail is visible. |

Easy installation
FireWire™ technology guarantees that the ColorView II 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 ColorView II 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 way. |
