Digital video fibre optic link
A transparent, manufacturer-independent method of communicating between any digital video source (camera) and any host system (frame grabber) up to 10km away
Both colour and monochrome versions are available.
Connected by FireWire and enabled by software, the PL-A686 camera is designed with productivity in mind.
This flexible camera is simple to install and operate.
Users can begin capturing images within minutes of opening the package.
Based on the Fill Factory IBIS4-6600 sensor, the PL-A686 has a resolution of 3000x2208 and can capture images at full resolution at five frames per second.
With pixel addressing, the user can select the region of interest and determine the resolution for image preview or capture as required to optimise speed, image size and quality.
The full field of view can be displayed in a relatively small preview window at high frame rates to simplify sample positioning and focusing.
The 6.6 megapixel resolution exceeds the resolving power of most microscope objectives and will provide publication quality images with excellent colour reproduction, says Kane Computing.
An intuitive software application, PixeLink Capture, comes with the camera, allowing software control of all camera parameters: still-image capture, time lapse and AVI video file capture.
PixeLink Capture can be used as a stand-alone application or as a fully capable Twain interface with many third party software applications. Request a free brochure from Kane Computing ...
