The Olympus SC30 uses a 3.3 megapixel CMOS chip which is excellent for standard brightfield applications and is superb for simple digital documentation purposes. In conjunction with its excellent cost-performance ratio, the SC30 is the ideal introductory model for digital image acquisition using light microscopes.
The SC30 has been designed to give optimum results in a wide range of applications. Its superior colour quality, combined with a live image frame rate of 10 fps at full resolution gives the opportunity to create microscope images with great ease. The sensitivity as well as the frame rate of the SC30 can be increased by using various binning modes leading to easy observation and focusing.
The Olympus SC30 uses the standard C-mount adapter for optical coupling, and data transfer and power requirements are dealt with by a single high-speed USB 2.0 cable. This ensures that both hardware and software integration into any system is easy. The SC30 is fully compatible with the cell* and Olympus analysis software environments.
