The DP21 is a 2 megapixel digital color camera with an ultra-fast, full-resolution live image preview of 15 frames per second. This easy-to-use, stand-alone digital camera was designed to output the full 2 megapixel image at a real-time rate of 15 frames per second directly to a 1600 x 1200 Ultra eXtended Graphics Array, UXGA, high-definition monitor (not included).
The DP21 digital camera is ideal for a broad range of clinical, diagnostic, and educational applications with its rapid, real-time live display, stunning color, and crisp detail. Pathologists, cytologists, hematologists, and microbiologists are sure to love the accurate color reproduction of their specimens. This is also a great camera for a wide range of end users who require a camera for documentation purposes including bright fluorescence.
Broadcasting images for consultation or training is simple with optional MicroSuite™ FIVE software and the Olympus NetCam. DP21 users can share images easily with colleagues or students in other locations. The primary user can manually or automatically adjust the camera parameters while remote users can view live images at 800 x 600 or 640 x 480 pixel resolution.
The 2 megapixel DP21 uses a 1200 x 1600 pixel Bayer mask CCD and interfaces to a computer via IEEE 1394a technology for rapid image download. It uses a 12-bit analog to digital converter, recording subtle color differences important for accurate color reproduction. The result is images with outstanding color and fine detail.
Designed with the same photomicrography concept as other popular Olympus cameras, the DP21 is offered as an easy-to-use, stand-alone solution; ideal when precious bench space is limited. The camera is controlled from a convenient stand-alone handset control box which is newly designed and ergonomic; operation is smooth with the functional key layout. Imaging is quick and easy. Set the camera to automatically expose and white balance the image or fine tune the exposure manually. An over/under exposure notification ensures images are perfect every time.
The DP21 digital camera can be controlled by optional Olympus MicroSuite FIVE.
DP21 Graphical User Interface
The DP21 digital camera offers an assortment of simple tools that are designed to streamline workflow. A focus indicator combined with the 2X and 4X digital zoom and rapid display make framing and focusing effortless. A scale bar may be overlayed on the image with settings for up to seven magnifications. There are twelve simple measurement tools.
