Description
High-end 3 Megapixel 1394 camera for microscopy, ophthalmology, still
imaging, science and research
The Oscar F-320C is an excellent camera for sophisticated still imaging. It includes a frame
readout Sony CCD sensor.
●
ICX262
●
B/w signal out of luma interpolation (Y = 0.3R + 0.6G + 0.1B)
●
B/w signal out of R, G or B channel information
Benefits of the b/w output interpolation modes:
●
In some applications, such as ophthalmology with contrast input, only one color is needed
for evaluation.
●
For applications with monochromatic lighting, noise can be reduced by using only the
respective color channel instead of the fully interpolated luma signal.
●
The Oscar can use the three primary colors (R, G and B) separately and put them out in a
reduced data monochrome mode.

Applications
The Oscar F-320C comes with outstanding benefits for microscopy and ophthalmology
applications. Besides that, it is particularly suited for applications that require a very detailed
image and excellent color reproduction, even in low light situations. Its fast preview mode
makes optimal object positioning and illumination easy.
