Flexible Frame Rates

The UC30´s CCD chip has a 3 Megapixel resolution. The user sees more and measurements can be carried out with greater precision. The UC30's 12-bit dynamic range provides images of 4096 grey values (or 4096 grey values per RGB channel). 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. Furthermore, the UC30 offers a black-and-white acquisition mode for enhanced image contrast. The resolution of this special mode is restricted to 1024 x 768 pixels.

High Sensitivity

The highly-sensitive CCD elements make it possible to create brilliant images even in challenging illumination conditions, such as contrast illumination techniques. The UC30 offers exposure times ranging from 0.1 ms to 10 s.

Seamless Software Integration

All camera functions are fully available through the cellSens image-analysis software. No matter what the actual acquisition conditions, real-time functions ensure that the entire dynamic range is utilized. This ensures optimally balanced contrast and superior image quality. The UC30´s full integration into the imaging software provides all capabilities and advantages of Olympus innovative solutions to meet all challenges of image processing and analysis, ranging from image labelling on to image archiving, report generation and e-mailing and including photo-realistic printouts.

Easy Installation

FireWire technology guarantees that the UC30 installation is easy on any PC or laptop equipped with a FireWire port. FireWire technology enables you to use multiple cameras on the same PC. The UC30 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.
