Used, but excellent Olympus XC10 digital Microscopecamera
Superior image quality, external trigger function and long integration times - these are just a few of the many properties this Peltier-cooled colour and b/w camera offers
The XC10 conceals a 1,376 x 1,032 pixel CCD chip. Every colour channel offers 14 bits. In the 2x binning mode the camera provides more than 15 frames per second. This makes the XC10 ideal for applications that require fast image acquisition.
With an excellent image quality, high sensitivity and long integration times, the XC10 Peltier-cooled color camera offers every user a flexible general-purpose imaging set-up. The XM10 supports the Olympus True Color (OTC) technology for color fidelity.
The powerful 1.376 x 1.032 pixel CCD chip offers the clarity of 14 bit analog digital conversionl and has the ability to provide very high frame rates via the use of pixel binning. In the 2x binning mode, the camera provides more than 23 fps, which increases to nearly 40 fps when using 4x binning. These make the XM10 ideal for applications that require fast image acquisition of dynamic objects. In addition, the high image frequency can be used to focus samples or locate areas of interest directly on the PC screen.
The high sensitivity of the XC10 is the result of a large pixel size of 6.45 x 6.45 μm. This defines the camera’s ability to be a well-equipped all-rounder; not only perfect for colour imaging, but also to meet high expectations in sensitive fluorescence applications. The Peltier-cooled CCD maintains a temperature of 10° (at 25 °C ambient temperature), enabling this multifunctional camera to provide colour and black and white images that are rich in detail and contrast with extraordinarily low background noise. Also adding to the XC10’s appeal is the extensive exposure time range (100 μs–160ms), ensuring that both strong and weak signals are captured with equal fidelity.
With the ease of both C-mount optical coupling and FireWire™ data and power connectivity, integrating the XC10 into your imaging system is easy.
