Optronics provides Microcastš HD real-time High Definition Co-Observation, which replaces multi-head microscopes. The Optronics Microcast HD offers full 1080p HD digital co-observation from a microscope with 2MP progressive scan digital images at 60 FPS. The camera system uses 3CCD medical grade 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.
