Although the temporal resolution of video cameras is excellent, their sensitivity to light is limited. This is because their quantum efficiency is only moderate (20–30%), the exposure time is short (fixed at 33 ms), and because the zoom microscope electronic noise associated with rapid read rates is high. An image processor placed in-line between the […]

DIGITAL IMAGE PROCESSORS
A digital image processors (digital signal processor) are a valuable tool for increasing the contrast, smoothness, and signal-to-noise ratio of the raw microscopy image and for performing complex operations such as background subtraction and enhancement of image contrast. This unit (a dedicated computer) is positioned between the zoom microscope and the TV monitor […]

Dissecting Zoom Microscopes are excellent tools for exploring medium-scaled microscopic objects and specimen aside from being used in biomedical applications. Dissecting microscopes are stereo microscopes with automated zoom capabilities that could be used to show greater specimen detail during dissection. Top lighting is the best kind to use with a dissection, as the light will […]
