  Diagnostic Instruments Insight
1820 (2 Megapixel) / 1420(4 Megapixel)

Insight cameras provide a feature packed imaging system for most types of microscopy such as phase contrast and fluorescence. When you buy an Insight camera, you benefit from engineering expertise gained from Diagnostic Instruments’ research and development into high-end quantitative camera designs. The result is low noise, high speed image captures that produce stunningly clean views of your specimen. Some of the true strengths of the Insight camera system comes from the SPOT software that not only makes it easy to control the sophisticated hardware, but takes you well beyond image capture. Powerful, yet intuitive software functions provide many microscopists with all the tools they will ever need.

  ProgRes C3/ C5


The ProgRes camera series is the ideal tool for entering the digital world in microscopy and macro photography.  Digitize your microscope images with ease for archiving or analysis. This easy to operate digital color camera offers capturing high resolution images at 3.3 and 5 mega pixel resolution in 36 Bit color digitization with high frame rates. Thus you can cover all routine applications in bright-field, dark-field and even in fluorescence microscopy.

 

Easy handling is granted by a FireWire interface requiring just one cable for power supply and PC connection, optical C-Mount interface for perfect fit to your microscope and convenient TWAIN software interface for operating the camera with your favorite image analyzing software.  Additionally your ProgRes camera comes with an intuitive image capture software for MS Windows and Apple Macintosh operating systems.  ProgRes cameras– your choice to get the digital images of your specimen in high resolution and excellent color for best price.


  ProgRes CF Scan
The new ProgRes CF scan – the ideal camera when high resolution and speed are essential. It is suitable for each contrast method in light microscopy, even for demanding applications with weak light signals. Images up to 4080 x 3072 pixels are generated due to high precision Microscanning Technology out of the cooled 1.4 mega pixel color sensor. Various recording modes perfectly adjust the resolution of the camera to your microscope. The fast live image in full sensor resolution offers best operation conditions. An analogue gain increases the dynamic and thus the light sensitivity of the sensor – hence even difficult specimen are reproduced in exact detail. The 14 bit digitization next to the sensor is an important pre-requisite for handling both finest color nuances and noise-free high contrast images. Of course, the camera can be triggered. Reliability, stability and easy integration in any working environment is ensured by the universal interface concept of ProgRes CF scan with FireWire, C-Mount and Twain Plug-In. The user-friendly ProgRes Capture Software is included in the scope of delivery.
