High-grade macro-photography made easy
Equipped with a first-class macro zoom objective lens, the system records objects of 6x4mm to 40x30cm, producing fully sized pictures and exceeding even stereo microscopes in terms of image field size

The Progres CT3 is dedicated to brightfield and reflective light microscopy, but also suitable for many other contrast methods
With a sensor format of 24x36mm, the imaging module recommends itself as a future-proof digital replacement of analogue image acquisition systems for 35mm photography.
Great dynamic range and little noise are further outstanding features of this sensor.
IEEE 1394b - for fast image transmission, also over great distances A new IEEE1394b Firewire 800 interface with data transfer rates as high as 800Mbit/s facilitates the acquisition of fast image sequences and high frame repeat rates as required for live image display on a computer monitor.
Up to four frames per second taken at full sensor resolution, ie, 11 mega pixels can thus be transmitted to the control computer.
In addition, the IEEE1394b standard allows fast data transmission via cable or optical fibre, including over great distances.
Easy integration with image processing systems.
For module operation control and image acquisition, a dedicated software development kit (SDK) with a documented programming sample is available.
Using the SDK, the module control can be smoothly integrated with special image processing or vision systems.
The imaging module provides flexible options for triggering and invidual sequence control of image acquisition.
Ideal for exacting and time-critical image-acquisition jobs.
The imaging module is intended for integration in image acquisition systems or image processing systems which are required to handle demanding vision control jobs.
Areas of application include scientific photography, aerial photography and safety engineering.
Equipped with an optional liquid crystal shutter (LC shutter), it produces brilliant pictures, even at minimum exposure time settings.
The smear effect otherwise known to be associated with electronic-shutter sensors is completely eliminated here - an advantage that mainly pays off in aerial surveying and safety engineering applications.
