RGB imaging technology for precise real-time color reproduction of microscope
images without interpolation. The camera’s ultra high speed automatic
camera shutter instantaneously compensates for higher magnification objectives
and decreases in illumination. Optional full 1080p HD image capture of HD
microscope images without a computer is available for reports and
publications. Microcast HD eliminates the need for a multi-head
microscope. For more information, please visit http://www.optronics.com.
