Fast, Fluid and Natural Microscopy Using Your Computer Monitor

Olympus has released the new DP26, a five megapixel colour digital camera optimised for viewing, documentation, reporting and analysis using a microscope. The new camera is ideal for browsing a sample using the monitor, utilising a rapid progressive scan readout that provides fluid, natural panning and focusing, and avoids distracting artefacts.

This technology removes the physical strain imposed by using the eyepieces, improving user comfort and efficiency. It also facilitates simultaneous sample viewing, whether in research, teaching, medical diagnostics or the inspection and analysis of materials. A high level of sensitivity ensures that the analysis of darkly stained samples or the use of dark-field illumination yields reliable, accurate images. In addition, the camera can differentiate even the most subtle colour differences due to the impressive colour reproducibility of the sensor. As part of an integrated microscopy system, the DP26 frees you from the eyepiece and allows you to focus on your data.

By utilising the Olympus DP26 camera, users can comfortably browse and focus on their sample and discuss data with colleagues or students, without needing to use the eyepiece. Workflow efficiency is improved, and prolonged use is far less physically tiring than when using the oculars. The DP26 generates a live image feed that is fast, fluid and free from distracting artefacts such as image striping or colour ghosts, achieved via the utilisation of an advanced progressive scan mode.

The DP26 removes the physical strain of eyepiece-based microscopy by providing an intuitive, fast, free-flowing live feed ideal for intensive sample browsing or long sessions at your microscope.
