Number of Pixels The elements comprising a CCD are known as pixels. In general, the greater is the number of these pixels, the larger amount of information will be obtained from image data along with the higher resolution.
Frame Rate An index that indicates a speed at which the frames are scanned per second. The unit is fps (frame per second).
For example, if a frame rate is set to 30fps, 30 frames of an image are viewed per second. Generally, the greater is this numeric value, the more smoothly a moving image is viewed on the monitor.
Sensitivity A numeric value that indicates a degree of light intensity a digital camera can capture.
The greater is this numeric value, the more brightly the camera can capture a dark image.
Image Capturing A numeric value that indicates the number of levels with which to represent an analog signal when converting the analog signal to a digital signal. Generally, the greater is this numeric value, the more faithful data to the original signal can be obtained, providing the higher image quality.
Wide Field A wide range of a specimen image is captured with the large CCD. This function is effective at finding a specific position while viewing the monitor or performing macro photography in a wide field.
Stiching Images Multiple adjacent images can be stitched together into one, in a natural way that doesn't show abrupt joints. This function is especially useful for observing large areas which cannot be captured in a single image.
Space Saving The control unit and image recording unit are integrated into the control box. This compact camera without the need of a PC allows easy digital photography regardless of location.
Simple, Close-at-hand Control This camera follows the operational feeling of a common photographic device, allowing digital photography only with simple, close-at-hand operation. Anyone familiar with the conventional photographic device can intuitively understand how to operate.
Measurement 2D measurement can be performed only by specifying points within a visible image.
Measurement image data can also be stored.
Cost Performance This camera can implement digital photography at an affordable cost.
