New digital ProgRes® Microscope Camera

Jenoptik extends ProgRes® camera line with 7 megapixel resolution and instantaneous live image The new ProgRes® C7, equipped with instantaneous SXGA live image, mechanical shutter and 7 mega pixel CCD sensor, records even tiniest specimen structures in a precise and detailed fashion. The ProgRes® C7 is particularly suited to macro shots in addition to microscopy applications. The instantaneous live image makes precise specimen positioning and focusing much easier.

Thanks to the integrated shutter, the ProgRes® C7 takes only a single shot to capture objects in motion and easily accommodates flash illumination techniques. Another advantage of the shutter is that it allows the camera to be triggered directly and precisely. Integration into automated process sequences or applications involving, for example, a motorized stage are made easy. The ProgRes® C7 is suitable for any illumination technique in light microscopy and excels with high light sensitivity and natural reproduction of colors.

C-Mount and IEEE1394 FireWire provide standard interfaces for connection with all common types of microscopes and computers. Powerful easy-to-handle ProgRes® CapturePro image acquisition software for Microsoft Windows and Apple Macintosh operating systems is included in camera delivery. As usual with ProgRes® cameras, free software updates are available for registered users on Jenoptik’s product website.

Jenoptik’s ProgRes® C7 offering adds a versatile camera tool for image documentation and image analysis in material sciences, quality assurance, pathology and life science – at an excellent price-performance ratio.

The camera will be available for delivery starting in July 2008.
