Reason being is this is a heavily used scope without an aligned stage insert. A perfect example of a problem here is that the images I posted are obviously not flat in the scmos. The day may be coming where oculars are simply not needed, however as a purist I still find the view through the scope to be the most “real”. In fact there are all sorts of small problems, created by this technology, that will drive changes to the microscopes themselves! One major point is that the user now actually sees the entire field of view as he or she would under the oculars. This camera fits the concept of a disruptive product like a glove. Later on this week, time allowing, I want to get into the concept of disruptive technology and how it plays a major role in our world of imaging. I think a lot of people are kind of standing by until the drivers come out. Note these images are down-processed for easy reading online, and the native resolution of the two cameras is almost identical (6.45um 285 vs. Here is an example: This is the usual comparison of FOV, showing the major improvement in acquisition area using a camera of this type. I had about 45 minutes to play with it, and as expected the first major difference seen was the massive advantage in the field of view. There is some delay when sending start/stop/acquire operations to the camera, which will need to be overcome for this to enter the normal-user market. One neat thing about the camera is that it basically works like any other camera, but with a much faster readout and a much larger field of view than is usually experienced. Loaded up Solis and followed Andor’s directions on setting up the data card, and that was it! How it works You can also get systems which provide multiple x16 slots, which enables the use of a high end video card and the data transfer card. The simple short term answer right now is to use a computer which has a video card processor and memory built in, leaving the x16 slot available. This slot is normally used by high end video cards, which may cause a problem for some computers. It’s important to note that the high speed data transfer card used by this camera requires an PCI Express x16 Slot.
