3.2 Megapixel OLYMPUS Q-Color3 IMAGING SYSTEM
High Resolution FireWireDigital CCD Color Camera
For Publication and Documentation
The Q-Color3 digital imaging system delivers high resolution color images for
microscopy documentation and publication. The 3.2 Megapixel CCD sensor and
30-bit color digitization produce
high quality color images of brightfield,
darkfield and fluorescence work. For low
light applications, the Q-Color3
cooled
model minimizes thermal noise during long
exposure times yielding high quality, low
light images. The FireWire
IEEE 1394
digital interface facilitates use and
installation. A single wire connects the
camera to the computer (including laptops)
for full computer control of the camera. The
Q-Color3
includes QCapture software for
Windows
® and Mac® based software
systems and Adobe
® Photoshop® Elements
for image enhancements. A Software
Development Kit (SDK) is available for interfacing with custom software.
