A
s the number of microscopy applications increases, the method of capturing images
has changed from using NTSC/PAL-based video signals to the simplicity and
convenience of PC-based image data. A flexible interface with PCs along with
superior picture quality are now essential to microscopy, and the Sony DXC-S500 Digital
Camera System meets these demands by providing both.
Comprising two separate units, the DXC-S500 includes a compact and lightweight camera
head unit (CHU) and a camera control unit (CCU) with an integrated 3.5 type LCD monitor.
The 2/3 type five mega-pixel CCD incorporated in the CHU provides ultra-high-resolution
images and precise color reproduction. The LCD on the CCU enables you to monitor live
images and offers user-friendly operation.
The added advantage of the DXC-S500 is its flexible interface with PCs. An IEEE 1394
interface on the CCU allows uncompressed image data transfer to a PC. A built-in PCMCIA
card slot enables you to store images on various media, such as “Memory Stick
™
”,
CompactFlash
™
, SmartMedia
™
and removable hard drives. What’s more, a hot plug function
allows the camera to be effortlessly connected to a PC, while the supplied TWAIN driver
supports various application software such as Photoshop
®
and Image-Pro
®
Plus.
With excellent picture quality, sophisticated features and PC-friendly operation,
the Sony DXC-S500 is the ideal system to support your medical and scientific
microscopy applications.
