New Ways to Enjoy Microscopic Observation
◆ MIC-D’s performance features match those of advanced scientific microscopes, and
include a full-scale optical system, bright LED illumination and a built-in gliding stage
which makes slight movements of the target object easier under high magnification.
◆ The metal housing is extremely rigid, and the operating mechanisms are comfortably
located and easy to use.
◆ MIC-D offers the same zoom ratio as Olympus' high-grade zoom stereo microscope
SZX12. Stepless magnification changes can be performed between 20x and 270x.
◆ MIC-D automatically adjusts the amount of light in the image to correspond with the
zoom level. As a result, there is no over- or under-exposure even when the magnification
is changed so that even novice users can readily obtain the images they want.
◆ Gliding stage for precise movement. Carefully designed for durability, the tactile gliding
stage responds precisely to the users touch, with 5mm of horizontal travel plus 360°
rotation.
Software to Maximize Performance
◆ Image processing is handled by powerful software: capture, display, store,
edit and process images on your computer. Operation is easy and intuitive,
with all user options presented on a clear, straightforward menu display.
◆ Still and moving images viewed with the MIC-D can be captured directly to a
personal computer. The built-in time-lapse function automatically captures
& combines individual images at preset intervals to create time lapse
movies.
◆ Captured images are stored and managed with a Windows-based PC.
Storage size (for still images) is 640 x 480 pixels- compact enough for
attachment to an e-mail or inclusion in a report. Storage formats are JPEG,
BMP and TIFF for still images and AVI and MPEG for moving sequences.
◆ Captured images are easy to process and edit, using such functions as
contrast and color adjustment, edge trimming and more.
◆ From tips on making specimens to hints on setting up observations, Help
function lets you make the most of microscope photography.
MIC-D Digital Microscope
With excellent all-round optical-digital performance, the MIC-D offers an exciting new
way to observe the natural world. Instead of being observed through conventional
eyepieces, the MIC-D image is displayed on the monitor of a personal computer- thus
enabling simultaneous viewing by multiple persons plus easy and affordable image
capture. And since MIC-D images are digital, processing them is quick and easy: users
can store, discard or edit their images, print them out, post them on a website, attach
them to an e--mail or include them in a report.
Full Screen Window
Double-clicking on an image
thumbnail will bring it up in
full screen mode. Movies
playback is also in the full
screen mode.
Image Comparison Window
Shift-clicking on 2 or more thumbnails
allows several images to be selected.
This is a great way to compare shots
that are captured using different
illumination techniques.
