The 2-megapixel Olympus DP20 microscope digital camera displays 1600 × 1200 resolution images at 15 fps on a monitor, projector or PC. The camera's versatility and image and color quality make it useful for pathology, hematology, cytology and microbiology. The highly portable unit can operate as a stand-alone image capture system with a microscope, since it does not require a PC for operation; it interfaces directly to a variety of monitors, or to a projector via RGB analog connection. Users can connect the DP20 to a PC via USB 2.0 and, using appropriate software, download image files or even control the camera. Numerous resolution options allow flexibility in setting up imaging protocols. When in use with a UXGA high-definition monitor, smooth full-resolution display is available at a real-time rate of 15 fps. Both 2× and 4× electronic zoom with panning are included, and a continuous shooting mode captures a burst of 5 image frames in rapid succession. Ergonomic handset control unit allows streamlined, comfortable control of the system. The camera controller accepts Type I CompactFlash cards for up to 4 gigabytes of storage. With optional MicroSuite FIVE software and the Olympus NetCam, DP20 users can share images easily with colleagues or students in other locations.
