Olympus camera control
All XM10 camera functions are fully controlled by the analysis image-processing software. Real-time functions enable the utilisation of the entire dynamic range under all conditions and guarantee the best contrast. XM10´s integration into analysis provides all the capabilities and advantages of state-of-the-art digital image processing and analysis, ranging from image labelling, archiving, report generation and e-mailing, as well as photo-realistic printouts without the darkroom.

High resolution, high sensitivity
The CCD chip of the XM10 has 1300 x 1030 pixel resolution. The 12-bit dynamic range means that even acquisition of images with very bright and faint regions is dynamically optimal. CCD elements are sensitive enough to detect even the weakest signals. The electronic shutter offers variable exposure times ranging from 100 µs to 160 seconds.

High frame rate
The high speed ADC (Analog-Digital Converter) working at a clock rate of 20 MHz in full 12-bit dynamic range is able to perform double sampling even at a readout rate of 20 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 22 fps at TV resolution using 2x binning. View your zoomed-in sample, locate the area of interest and focus – all conveniently onscreen. 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 XM10 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 XM10 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.
