Digital solutions – Developed to be exceptional!

Soft Imaging System’s digital cameras meet the steadily rising expectations being placed on digital acquisition. The 12-bit ColorView I – equipped with FireWire™ technology (IEEE 1394) – is for use in the field of light microscopy.

The ColorView I makes it possible to acquire high-resolution color and black-and-white images, rich in detail and contrast with low noise. And the truly astonishing thing is how easy this high-performance camera is to use – just as easy as any regular video camera.

The ColorView I’s full integration into the analySIS^® software provides all capabilities and advantages of Soft Imaging System’s innovative solutions to all challenges of image processing and analysis, ranging from image labeling on to image archiving, report generation and e-mailing and including photo-realistic printouts – all without any need for a darkroom.

Sample: Flourescence acquisition of concrete
Resolution: 2048 x 1536 pixel x 12 bits

 High resolution
The ColorView I’s CCD chip has a 2048 x 1536 pixel resolution. This is more than seven times greater than what a regular video camera can provide. The user sees more and measurements can be carried out with even greater precision.

 High dynamic range
The ColorView I’s 12-bit dynamic range provides images of 4096 gray values (or 4096 gray values per RGB channel). So what does that mean? It means that images can be acquired that have either very bright or very pale areas. Ultimately, this higher depth of data reflects a greater depth of information overall.

 High frame rate
This camera supports three different frame rates. The special “search mode” with a frame rate of more than 25 images per second at 688 x 512 pixels makes finding suitable areas of a sample directly on the PC screen especially convenient. The “focus mode” provides 15 images per second at 1024 x 768 pixels. And thirdly, at the highest resolution – 2048 x 1536 pixels – you’re still getting 5 images per second. This means your focusing can be done in real time and upon image acquisition, you have images of temptingly persuasive quality.

 Color binning
In the search and focus mode, the ColorView I uses either triple or double true-color binning. This ensures that the user sees the entire image segment in color while searching or focusing. This guarantees that the user is able to view all images in color independent of the resolution.

 FireWire™ Interface (IEEE 1394)
FireWire™ technology guarantees that the ColorView I can be easily and conveniently installed on any PC or laptop equipped with a FireWire™ port. No extra frame grabber is necessary. This also means the user has the enviable option of using more than one camera with the same PC.

 Temperatue stabilized
The CCD chip temperature is stabilized to increase the signal/noise ratio.

 High sensitivity
The highly sensitive CCD elements make it possible to detect even very weak signals. The electronic shutter offers exposure times ranging up to 160 seconds. The ColorView I offers exposure time ranging from 100 µs to 160 sec. Details of your sample that had been impossible to see, become readily identifiable. This is just as true for low-intensity applications as well!

 Black-and-white acquisition mode
Furthermore, the ColorView I offers a black-and-white acquisition mode. The resolution of this special mode is restricted to 1024 x 768 pixels. This means you are able to acquire monochrome fluorescence images without having to use a second camera, for example.

 Compact design
The ColorView I’s elegantly designed housing is compact and can be mounted onto any light microscope with a C-mount. No additional interfaces or adaptors are necessary. ColorView I’s integration into analySIS^® provides numerous advantages.

 Real-time functions
ColorView I’s own impressive velocity along with the speed of today’s CPU’s mean that a whole range of real-time functions are available within analySIS^®. One of these is automatic contrast enhancement. Others include automatic white and black balance, focus control and histogram display.

 Image analysis
An extensive range of text, graphic and editing functions is available for labeling your images. For more extensive examination of images there are specialized filters and professional particle analysis. This ensures that it is easy for you to obtain your results fast and flexibly – and those results are reproducible.

 The dark room is history
Get printouts of photographic quality immediately following image acquisition. The need for a dark room or all those film-developing chemicals has gone the way of the horse-drawn carriage. As opposed to using conventional film, you obtain printouts of your acquisitions within minutes – and of photographic quality.

 Partial-read out
The ColorView II supports partial read-out. This mode is for setting an ROI which is smaller than the whole image. This means you get a fast preview of this area.

 FireWire™ Interface (IEEE 1394)
FireWire™ technology guarantees that the ColorView II can be easily and conveniently installed on any PC or laptop equipped with a FireWire™ port. No extra frame grabber is necessary. This also means the user has the enviable option of using more than one camera with the same PC.

 Low noise and cooled
A highly efficient read-out technology (Correlated Double Sampling) in conjunction with Peltier cooling of the chip provides images with an optimal signal-to-noise ratio. Chip temperature is maintained at 10° C via Peltier elements. This makes for very low noise, which in turn means that greater detail is visible.

 High sensitivity
The highly sensitive CCD elements make it possible to detect even very weak signals. The electronic shutter offers exposure times ranging up to 160 seconds. The ColorView II offers exposure time ranging from 100 µs to 160 sec. Details of your sample that had been impossible to see, become readily identifiable.

CC-12는 “analySIS Five” Image Analyzer Software에 완전히 통합됩니다.

Digital solutions – Developed to be exceptional

The series of light microscope cameras by Soft Imaging System has been designed to meet the highest digital-imaging acquisition demands for all areas of the microscopy field.

The CC-12 is the successor to the ColorView 12. This 12-bit, Peltier-cooled and FireWire™(IEEE 1394) equipped color digital camera is the ideal introduction to digital image acquisition in the field of light microscopy.

All functions of the camera can be completely controlled and operated via the analySIS^®image-analytical software. No matter what current acquisition conditions are, real-time functions guarantee that the entire dynamic range is taken advantage of. This ensures the user optimal contrast all the time.

Following acquisition, CC-12’s total integration into analySIS^® provides the full range of options and advantages of the latest in image processing and analysis, from image labeling to archiving, report generation and e-mailing all the way on to photo-realistic printouts – and there’s no more need for the darkroom.

High Resolution
The CC-12 camera has a resolution of 1300 x 1030 pixels. This is three times greater than that of a regular video camera.

A camera that’s low-noise and cooled
Highly efficient readout technology (Correlated Double Sampling) coupled with Peltier-cooling of the CCD chip results in images of superior signal-to-noise ratio.

 Variable exposure times
Highly sensitive CCD elements are even capable of detecting signals that are extremely weak. The electronic shutter offers variable exposure times ranging from 100 µs to 160 seconds.

 High frame rate
The high speed ADC (Analog-Digital Converter) working at a clock rate of 20 MHz in full 12-bit dynamic range is able to perform double sampling even at a readout rate of 20 MHz. Various frame rates are supported by this camera. For example, the camera can be set to acquire at a high frame rate of more than 22 fps at TV resolution using 2x binning. View your zoomed-in sample, locate the area of interest and focus – all conveniently onscreen. No longer are you forced to trade off speed for quality. For acquisition the system switches automatically into the high-resolution mode. This avoids bleaching of your fluorescence specimen and offers optimal performance when setting parameters.

 FireWire™ Interface (IEEE 1394)
FireWire™ technology guarantees that the CC-12 installation is easy on any PC or laptop equipped with a FireWire™ port. The days when you were limited to a frame grabber and just a single camera are history. FireWire™ technology enables you to use multiple cameras on the same PC.

 Peltier-Cooling
Image noise is generally the result of one of two things: either the CCD chip is not being cooled to a low enough temperature (known as ”dark current”), or due to mechanical vibrations. For the CC-12, thermal noise and instability is not a problem because the CCD chip is Peltier-cooled and stabilized at 10°C, resulting in a very high signal-to-noise ratio. Noise is further suppressed by the application of a highly efficient digital readout technique known as Correlated Double Sampling.

 Installation is easy
The CC-12 can be mounted onto all light microscopes with a C-mount adaptor. Plus, you only need one cable for getting data and power to the PC’s FireWire™ port. No more clutter and no ’octopus’ of cables getting in your way.

 Real-time functions
CC-12 is fast. Put this in combination with the high speed of today’s CPU’s, and you’ve got an attractively broad range of real-time functions within analySIS^® available to you. These include automatic contrast control, automatic white balance and histogram display.

 Analyzing images
A vast library of text, graphic and editing functions is available for labeling images. Special filters and professional particle analysis assist in more extensive investigation of images. All this makes it simple to obtain reliable and reproducible results quickly.

 No more darkroom
Photo-quality printouts can be obtained following acquisition without any need for a darkroom nor its developing chemicals. And these photo-quality printouts are in your hands in minutes.

Archiving
analySIS^® offers you a powerful, fully network-able, image-archiving system that handles all the images and data generated during the process of image acquisition and documentation. Images can be stored along with text, sheets and other graphics as records for complete documentation of tasks and processing steps. Input, display and query masks can be defined independently.

Automatic report generation
Now you can produce multi-page reports quickly and efficiently. Select multiple images in the image database and insert them all into the report via a single command. In addition to the images themselves, you can have information from any database field automatically included in reports. Automatic scaling, detail zooms, and more – all available to optimize the way you work with images. All documents generated using the analySIS^® software can be inserted into reports. Use the report generator to print out images, related measurement sheets, and diagrams – all on the same page. This report generator provides you with the utmost flexibility for page layout and design. You set up your own templates exactly the way you want them to be. Templates need to be created just once. Templates are what your reports are based on and ensure that the appearance of your documents is uniform. Use the RTF Export function to export your reports to MS Word for continued editing.

CC-12 and mia
Automatic pattern recognition means you can use mia to montage multiple component imagesacquired with the CC-12 into a single, high-resolution image.
This is tremendously useful, eg, when you wish to display a sample in its entirety at high resolution but the microscope is only capable of showing a portion of the sample at such high resolution. All you need to do is define image size and resolution. The rest is taken care of automatically.

Digital solutions – Developed to be exceptional!

Soft Imaging System’s digital cameras are designed to meet the steadily rising demands on digital image acquisition for all areas of microscopy. And so is the newly developed 12-bit, cooled CCD color camera F-View II, our latest 12-bit, Peltier-cooled, FireWire™-driven solution for fluorescence microscopy.

The search mode enables you to rapidly locate and conveniently focus in on the area of your sample of interest. This prevents any unnecessary bleaching of the sample.

The camera will automatically switch over to the high-resolution mode for acquisition. F-View II can also be easily operated using a laptop via the FireWire™ port.

All camera functions are fully controlled by the analySIS^® image-processing software. Real-time functions enable the use of the entire dynamic range under all conditions and guarantee the best contrast.

F-View II’s integration into analySIS^® provides all the capabilities and advantages of state-of-the-art digital image processing and analysis, ranging from image labeling, archiving, report generation and e-mailing, as well as photo-realistic printouts without the darkroom.

 High Resolution
The CCD chip of the F-View II has 1376 x 1032 pixel resolution. The 12-bit dynamic range means that even acquisition of images with very bright and faint regions is dynamically optimal. 

 High sensitivity
CCD elements are so sensitive that they have no trouble detecting even the weakest of signals. The electronic shutter offers variable exposure times ranging from 100 µs to 160 seconds.

All documents generated using the analySIS^® software can be inserted into reports. Use the report generator to print out images, related measurement sheets, and diagrams – all on the same page. This report generator provides you with the utmost flexibility for page layout and design. You set up your own templates exactly the way you want them to be. Templates need to be created just once. Templates are what your reports are based on and ensure that the appearance of your documents is uniform. Use the RTF Export function to export your reports to MS Word for continued editing.
