| AxioCam Digital Cameras from Carl Zeiss Provide High-quality Micrographs at a Low Price Imaging Associates Ltd is now distributing two new models of the popular Carl Zeiss AxioCam line of digital cameras for microscopy. These are entry-level digital cameras for photomicrography: the 1.4 megapixel AxioCam ICc1 and the 3.3 megapixel AxioCam ICc3. These cameras offer an excellent price/performance ratio and have been developed for users who work in routine microscopy for image documentation. The AxioCam ICc cameras with C-mount adapter are ideal for general micrographs of colour objects when sufficient light is available, e.g. for all brightfield micrographs in materials microscopy. Due to their performance, these cameras provide an economical solution for routine industrial applications. They are directly integrated into the AxioVision software and permit fast, high-resolution live images (17 images per second with AxioCam ICc1 and 6 to 39 images per second with AxioCam ICc3) and fast FireWire data transfer of the images. The addition of these budget-priced entry-level instruments to the AxioCam line makes system solutions from ZEISS available to even more users. These new cameras have made it possible to replace video cameras with frame grabber interface technology that have often been used until now for cost reasons, and have led to a marked improvement in image quality. |
