The Haematology laboratory at St John's Hospital Howden recently took delivery of a YenCam HD II camera and monitor for use in group discussions and training.

The YenCam HD II is particularly well suited for use in group discussion and training sessions because of the extremely easy camera setup. Just focus the image on screen and the camera does the rest automatically. What you see down the microscope is exactly what you see on screen with near perfect colour rendition. The 60 frames per second refresh rate means there is no drag whatsoever when focusing or moving around the slide.

The Pharmacy and Life Science  department at Robert Gordon University in Aberdeen recently purchased 12 Yenway EX20 student microscopes. Having had side by side demonstrations next to the Olympus CX22LED and Leica DM1000 equivalents the technical staff preferred both the optical and build quality of the Yenway scopes. Also purchased were two Yenway SZN stereos equipped with YenCam HD II high definition camera systems.

Speaking about the cameras Iain Tough, applications supervisor, commented "I’m very impressed with the versatility of the cameras in that they can be used with or without a PC which is great when you are short of bench space".
