4K microscope camera is ‘noise-free’
THE new UC90 microscope camera has a nine-megapixel sensor to deliver ultra-high definition (UHD) 4K images, says Olympus. The one-inch type (14.6 x 12.8mm) CCD colour sensor provides a large field of view, covering almost the same sample area as…
Everyday microscope suits classroom and field
THE latest iteration of Olympus‘s range of routine and educational microscopes, the CX23, promises high performance with ergonomic design in a compact package. The company says this latest microscope is packed full of well-considered, clever features to enhance every step…
Light microscope as ‘fast and efficient’ alternative to SEM
IN DETAILED studies for a heritage conservation project, researchers at the University of Antwerp in Belgium have found that high-resolution optical microscopy can be as powerful as scanning electron microscopy (SEM). This is the claim made by Olympus, whose DSX500…
Instant, PC-free, microscope imaging
A NEW standalone controller for the five megapixel Olympus DP26 microscope camera makes it possible to view samples and capture images directly on a monitor screen with no need for a dedicated computer. This means that microscopy images can be captured…
Microscope camera handles colour and monochrome
A NOVEL dual-sensor microscope camera from Olympus will produce both high-sensitivity monochrome (black and white) images and high-quality colour images, without the need to switch cameras. The Olympus DP80 has two separate CCD sensors, making it a versatile device which…
Software automates materialographic identification
THE NEWEST version of Olympus’s materials science microscopy imaging software, Stream 1.8, provides new features to integrate and automate materialographic workflows. These include the automation of a multiple stage location engine, extended data management, and new additions to optional extensions.…
Microscopy comes to Manchester
ORGANISERS are claiming a major success with the European Microscopy Congress 2012, held in Manchester UK this week (17-21 September 2012). Traditionally considered a meeting rooted in electron microscopy, EMC2012 had a new, ahem, focus on light microscopy thanks to…
Inverted microscopes offer modular reconfiguration
OLYMPUS says its new range of inverted microscopes, the IX3 series, will be ‘future-proof’ thanks to their swappable deck modules. Aimed at the live cell imaging and clinical analysis markets, the three-model range each has at least one cartridge-like deck…
New microscope is half price of old model
THE NEW entry-level inverted microscope from Olympus, the IX53, was launched this week at the European Microscopy Congress – EMC2012 – in Manchester, UK. It replaces the old IX51 model, promising improved performance and a modular, ‘future-proof’ configuration, yet it…
