Leica DFC550 highlights：
DFC550 digital camera offers excellent color reproduction and the highest resolution for all light micro- scope related contrast methods. Superior image quality and high flexibility are the outstanding features of this camera. With its high precision Micro scanning and Co-site Color Sampling, the hermetically sealed, thermoelectrically cooled.1.4 megapixel color sensor generates an image resolution of up to 12.5 mega pixels in true colors. The Leica DFC550 offers a high dynamic range at an excellent signal-to-noise ratio. The camera delivers precisely detailed digitized images, 14-bit per color channel. The sensor’s selectable read out, 24.6 MHz for fast live mode and fast image rates of 12.3 MHz for more image data, combine an optimum workflow and top image quality in a single camera. Robust and reliable interfaces such as FireWire-B and C-mount offer easy adaptation of the Leica DFC550 to all current microscopes and PC’s.
◇ High quality 5-megapixel CCD for brilliant captured images.
◇ Many user selectable resolutions – from super fast 5×5 binning up to 12.5 Mpixel multishot mode to suit all imaging requirements.
◇Co-site Color Sampling and sub sample readout modes – no color interpolation required – for fast and absolutely clean true color images without moiré artifacts.
◇ Sensitive Sony CCD color sensor with high precision piezo micro scanner – to capture the subtlest structures and color shades.
◇ Single FireWire-B connection for data and power – for ease of use and simple installation.
◇ Complete camera kit with FireWire-B-B cable and FireWire-B board –no need for additional computer accessory (optional notebook kit available).
◇mproved color calibration and color rendering – for the most demanding applications in industry and life science when the highest color quality is needed.
◇Active peltier cooling system with sealed sensor chamber and fan – to ensure the same image quality even with long exposure times.
◇New low light image noise detection and reduction algorithm – to further reduce noise in the live image at low illumination levels
◇High Dynamic Range (HDR) Mode in LAS – to capture more details in delicate or challenging samples.
◇Easy and standard camera control panels – to concentrate on sample setup and for the best focus position.
