Introduction

Introducing the DMC Digital Microscope Camera

The Polaroid DMC Digital Microscope Camera captures

high-quality digital color images from light microscopes and

other optical instruments. The camera uses a unique, million-

pixel, 12.15mm CCD (charge coupled device) to capture

pictures with up to 16.7 million colors. It transfers these

pictures in seconds to an IBM-PC-, PowerMac- or PowerPC-

compatible computer as high resolution (800x600 pixels) or

super-high resolution (1600x1200 pixels) TIFF images.

Dmccam.ai

Using the Microsoft Windows or PowerMac/PowerPC

software provided with the camera, you can display a

viewfinder image on your computer screen, choose resolution

and other options, enhance color balance, brightness,

contrast and sharpness, then transfer the picture to your

image-processing application or a dis drive.

The camera has a SCSI-2 connection requiring no frame-

grabber or other special hardware or software. (For use with

IBM PCs or PC-compatible computers, the camera requires a

SCSI adapter board.)

Using a standard .63, 1:1, or larger c-mount adapter, the

camera attaches easily to microscopes for most types of

transmitted-light and reflected-light microscopy.

The camera also features a tripod mount and x-sync

connection for use with standard c-mount lenses on a

copystand.

For more detailed camera specifications, see page 41.
