C 5 ProgRes Digital Cameras - Melsobel Microscopes

Model C-12 Plus

High resolution and unsurpassed color accuracy combined in one affordable high quality camera: The new ProgRes C12plus, latest addition to the family of ProgRes digital microscope cameras. Equipped with low noise electronics, a 5 megapixel CCD, Firewire and an intuitive software interface, the new camera makes high quality digital image acquisition comfortable and easy. For documentation, archiving, analysis, presentation and more.

CCD Sensor Data:
Sony ICX282AQ 2/3" Interline Transfer Color Super HAD CCD 2580 x 1944 (active) pixels array, pixel pitch 3.4µ x 3.4µ with on-chip color-mosaic-mask (RGB Bayer pattern) and microlenses Active image area: 8.8 x 6.6 mm² IR cut-off filter, Typ HOYA C-500S

Exposure Times, AD Conversion and Colour Reproduction
A range of exposure times from 0.2 milliseconds up to 180 seconds provides scope for most imaging issues. The A/D conversion of 12 bits per colour enables the ProgRes C12plus to capture even finest colour nuances - see all the details of your specimen. Of course, also the C12plus incorporates JENOPTIK's profound know-how in precise colour reproduction. The image result is an optimum prerequisite for detailed image analysis and for all possible output media from screen to print.

Interfaces
A modern IEEE1394a FireWire interface offers speed and flexibility: the adaption of a digital camera has never been so easy. You just need to plug in a single cable to make the ProgRes C12plus ready for operation. Its 400Mbit/s FireWire interface connects the ProgRes C12 to a desktop computer or a laptop - power supply included. Hot plugging and OHCI compatibility make the ProgRes C12plus to your first choice when it comes to integrating a digital camera into your laboratory equipment. The C-mount connector attaches the well-designed camera to your microscope by a standard TV-adaptor. You can also attach standard C-mount lenses for using your ProgRes C12plus for usage on copy stands for macro-photography.

Software
ProgRes C12plus and ProgRes C10plus are delivered with easy to use ProgRes Capture Basic image acquisition software for MS Windows 2000/XP based computers. The TWAIN plugin that integrates neatlessly into most image processing applications, the stand-alone application operates the camera independent of third party software. . A videolike live-image with full colour control, automatic exposure and easy white balancing are just a few of the ProgRes Capture Basic features that facilitate your everyday work. From image capture and color adjustment up to image storing: the camera software provides helpfull tools that help you capturing best possible images.
