Camera details
As colour CMOS camera, the SC30 works with an analog-to-digital converter that can handle 3x10 bit. This leads to a dynamic range sufficient enough to capture and display images of high colour brilliance. The 3.3 megapixel resolution will help you to explore smallest details of your specimen. Due to the high live frame rates, searching the right field of view can be done easily and relaxed by viewing the images on-screen rather than looking through the microscopes eyepieces. |

Speed through technology
The SC30 uses a colour CMOS chip with 2.048 x 1.532 pixels. One of the main benefits of the CMOS technology is that each pixel uses its own charge-to-voltage converter. In addition to low power consumption and reduced electronic noise, this feature also helps to prevent artificial image effects like blooming or smearing that could be induced by CCD technology. By using the fast USB2.0 standard, the SC30 offers 10 frames per second in full 3.3 Megapixel resolution.
The image update speed can be significantly increased by using three different binning modes (2x, 3x, 4x) resulting in a maximal live image rate of 49 frames per second at 508x384 pixels. |

Seamless integration
The superior cost to performance ratio of the SC30 is based on the technology employed. The connection through USB2.0 is as easy as the control through the camera interface within the Olympus analysis and cell* software. The desired image result can be viewed in realtime even if image optimisation processes are applied. Interactive focusing, measurements on the live image or labelling are easily performed. Furthermore, the images coming from the camera can be calibrated online providing you with true values for measurements and particle detection.
Since the software families for live and materials science of Olympus offer solutions from easy acquisition to advanced imaging and analysis, surely all demands in todays laboratory work can be solved. If required, motorised microscopes, motor stages, or other peripheral devices can be controlled, enabling users to automate complex workflows. |
