The Olympus SC180 High-Resolution Camera Provides Virtually Noise-Free Images and Life-Like Color Reproduction For On-Screen Microscopy
Accelerate your routine microscopy work with the Olympus SC180 microscope camera. With a full 18 megapixels, the SC180 camera delivers the high-resolution images required to make insightful observations. The camera delivers excellent performance for brightfield applications, increasing throughput through fast focusing and imaging capabilities while resolving more information on the screen than what can be viewed through the eyepieces.
The SC180 camera supports 4K digital imaging for fast, comfortable and user-friendly on-screen operation for various applications such as research, manufacturing, inspection and routine documentation. Cutting-edge features include:
- Resolving power: Excellent spatial resolution that is close to full optical resolution via a 1.25 µm × 1.25 µm sensor element combined with a resolution of 4,912 × 3,684 pixels, making the SC180 camera the best choice for applications that require users to display, measure, analyze and document fine structures and details.
- Clean and virtually noise-free images: Intelligent assist supports the operator to easily acquire virtually noise-free images with life-like color reproduction.
- Easy-to-use: The high frame rate enables users to navigate their samples quickly, while the focus peaking technology makes it simple to acquire images with excellent sharpness and quality.
- Integrates with Olympus imaging software: Camera seamlessly integrates with and can be controlled by Olympus cellSens imaging software.
A CMOS sensor delivers up to 45 frames per second (fps), introducing a new level of speed and the confidence to work completely on-screen—two features especially important when evaluating a high volume of samples. With its higher resolution and large field of view, the SC180 camera facilitates multi-viewer collaboration while also enhancing presentations to show highly detailed structures on-screen and in context.
The SC180 camera easily integrates into existing microscope setups, using a single USB 3.0 cable for high-speed data transfer and power supply. It can be mounted quickly and easily on any microscope equipped with a standard C-mount adaptor, making it simple to install. Combined with Olympus imaging software, users experience a seamless interaction between the microscope, camera and additional devices, delivering intuitive and efficient operation. To analyze large regions, digital image stitching can further expand the field of view, merging many acquisitions from multiple sample regions into a single panoramic image. Images can later be processed and measured and then easily shared with others.
The Olympus SC180 color microscope camera is high-performance camera offering ultra-high resolution imaging over the full field of view.
To stimulate audience engagement during presentations and facilitate precise sample documentation, Olympus has recently launched the 18-megapixel SC180 camera. With unprecedented detail, especially at low magnifications, the SC180 is easy to use and cost-effective, making 4K Microscopy accessible to more users than ever before.
4K Microscopy enables users to get the same level of detail on the screen as through the oculars and show true-to-life structures and colors. Olympus’ fast 18-megapixel SC180camera with a 4K UHD live image uses the full optical resolution of the microscope and produces clear, crisp images at all magnifications. This makes it easier to engage audiences in large-screen presentations while also increasing throughput in tissue documentation and in the creation of detailed images for publication.
To improve throughput and productivity, the SC180 comes with several features that help to speed up routine imaging. With Focus Peaking users can see exactly which areas of a specimen are in focus and get the desired image with the first click. Fast Live ensures comfortable, fluid navigation regardless of the illumination conditions by maintaining a high frame rate when the user moves the specimen.
The SC180 camera also features fully automated, real-time image processing features, such as Olympus Smart Image Averaging (OSIA) that reduce noise for crisp, clean images. Additionally, real-time color profiling with automated white point calibration ensures natural-looking colors for reliable images. These features, combined with the 4K UHD live image, make the SC180 a user-friendly and cost-effective solution that provides detailed, publication-ready images at every magnification.
