INTRODUCTION:
MDC Series is Microscope Digital Camera with high performance CCD chip. So it is named MDC series, different from DCM Series. So please specify your correct model in your order.
MDC is an excellent solution and offers live image. Its main features are:
l         High performance CCD chip ensures high signal to noise ratio and high dynamic range.
l         Progressive scan and the adoption of high frame rate readout mode allow all pixels' signals to be output independently in high speed. It means that MDC offers high video speed.
l         The MDC series features an electronic shutter with variable charge-storage time which makes it possible to realize full-frame still image without a mechanical shutter.
l         High resolution and high color reproductivity are achieved through the use of R, G, B primary color mosaic filters.
l         Furthermore, high sensitivity and low dark current are achieved through the adoption of HAD (Hole-Accumulation Diode) sensors.
MDC series product is a digital camera especially designed for microscope. It works perfectly with any kind of optical microscopes, including biological, metallurgical and stereo microscope. The images of the observed specimen or samples can be genuinely displayed on computer screen. The powerful advanced software ScopePhoto included ensures simple and convenient operation on the images captured.
