Olympus 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 utilised. This ensures optimally balanced contrast and superior image quality. The XC50´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, image archiving and report generation to e-mailing and including photo-realistic printouts – all without any need for a darkroom.
High resolution, several frame rates 2576 x 1932 pixel resolution and exposure time from 1 ms up to 160 s make the XC50 attractive for users working with applications in the field of material science as well as all areas of biomedicine and life science. This camera supports three different frame rates. The XC50 supports partial read-out. This mode is for setting an ROI which is smaller than the whole image.
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 XC50 offers exposure times ranging from 1 Ms 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 XC50 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 XC50 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.
