Fig.2-7 Optional Input Devices

2.2.2Video Format

Video Format is mainly to set up the frame rate, color space and output size etc. Fig 2-8a is the Video Format of built in UVC Driver contents. Frame rate is frame numbers per second (fps) for playing. Adjust the output size will slower or faster the fps, for example, if the fps is higher, the preview video will be less clearly but with smooth performance. On the contrary, if the fps is lower, the image will be more clear but with a little lagging performance. This is due to the more frames requires the more CPU loading then cause the lagging performance.

Fig. 5-31 Calibrator

The picture shown as Fig. 5-31 is calibrator. The main purpose for the Cross is to calibrate the program and also as a measurement. The Cross (See above chart c) has 3 kinds of units as 0.05mm, 0.1mm and 1mm scale. It will measure 0.05mm, 0.1mm at high magnification and 0.1mm, 1mm at low magnification. The Cross can measure the Length and Width accurately, ie.: Fig.5-34, Measure the length of the onion cell as the red rectangle which is approximate 0.400mm.

The use “metal ruler” and “calibrator” the biggest difference is as follows:

The more precise ruler, the more accurate measurement can be obtained under high magnification.

 When the magnification is high, use the calibrator can easily and accurately

knows the scale range.

Fig.5-32 The Cross

45

Microscope Application Program http://www.ViTiny.com

 When the magnification is high, metal ruler is less accurately than a

calibrator.

 When the magnification is low, a metal ruler can be suitable.

(2) Calculate scale rang

First, the scale setting must calculate the horizontal and vertical scale range, the following has several steps to decide the scale range, suggested that the windows size adjust 640*480 the single windows：

 To decide measure distance between machine and observation objects.  To adjust the focus to see the image as clear as it can.  Calculate the observation video image of horizontal and vertical scale.

Calculate the range shown in Fig.5-33.

After setup the horizontal and vertical scales, the machine, the observation

distance and focus are not allow to readjustment.

Fig.5-33 Horizontal and vertical measurement range

(3) Calibrate “contacted” and “non-contacted” scale

 Contacted scale: Put the machine onto the calibrator for small field of view , it

can apply for a focus point at Low or High magnification.  Non-contacted scale: To hold the machine by the supporter, fix the machine

overhead a ruler for a certain distance, it can observe a wider field of view.

Non-contacted scale is only for low magnification. See Fig.5-37.

46

Microscope Application Program http://www.ViTiny.com

Contacted

Non-Contacted

Fig.5-35 Horizontal scale range is 24.2mm

Fig.5-36 Vertical scale range is 18.1mm

Fig.5-37 Horizontal scale range is 5.60mm

Fig.5-38 Vertical scale range is 4.20mm

Fig.5-34 Contacted and Non-Contacted

According to the above steps it can measure horizontal and vertical scale. Several examples as

follows:

EX1: Measurement for non-contact object.

Use the “metal ruler” as a measurement base, the machine and the observation

object of distance is 2.2 cm, the focus of the video image is clear. Image

shown in Fig.5-35 and Fig.5-36 is the result after measurement, horizontal and

vertical scale range is 24.2mm and 18.1mm.

EX2: Measurement for contacted object in low mag.

Use the “metal ruler” for measurement of the base, the machine and the

observation object of distance is close, the focus of the video image is clear.

Image shown in Fig.5-37 and Fig.5-38 is the result after measurement,

horizontal and vertical scale range is 5.60mm and 4.20mm.

47

Microscope Application Program http://www.ViTiny.com

Fig.5-39 Horizontal scale range is 1.40mm

Fig.5-40 Vertical scale range is 1.05mm

Fig.5-41 Horizontal scale range is 5.60mm

Fig.5-42 Vertical scale range is 4.20mm

EX3: Measurement for contacted object in high mag.

Use the “metal ruler” for measurement of the base, the machine and the observation object of distance is close, the focus of the video image is clear. Image shown in Fig.5-39 and Fig.5-40 is the result after measurement, horizontal and vertical scale range is 1.40mm and 1.05mm.

EX4: Calibrate the scale for contacted in low mag.

Use the “calibrator” for measurement of the base, the machine and the observation object of distance is close, the focus of the video image is clear. Image shown in Fig.5-41 and Fig.5-42 is the result after measurement, horizontal and vertical scale range is 5.60mm and 4.20mm. Using “calibrator” can be easier and accurate to get scale range.

48

Microscope Application Program http://www.ViTiny.com

Fig.5-43 Horizontal scale range is 1.40mm

Fig.5-44 Vrtical scale range is 1.05mm

EX5: Calibrate the scale for Contacted in high mag.

Use the “calibrator” as a measurement base, flatly put the machine on the observing object, adjust the focus to find the clearest image. See Fig.5-43 and Fig.5-44 the result from measurement. Horizontal and vertical scale range is 1.40mm and 1.05mm. Using a calibrator is more easily and accurately to get scale range.

(4) Factors cause the inaccurate on the measurement

There are few factors could cause the inaccurate on the measured figures.  The used ruler is not exactly accurate, for example, a metal ruler is not

accurate than a calibrator.  Because of the discrepancy, it is unable to know the accurate horizontal and

vertical scale range, too.

49

Microscope Application Program http://www.ViTiny.com

 The resolution is not the same with the Windows size.

Why is the resolution not the same with the Windows size? For example the present resolution (original video image of output size) is 640*480 the measurement of the Windows's for general is 400*300 sizes. When the original video image size is 640*480 by reducing to 400*300, the measurements will have caused error. Therefore, the measurement is to adjust the resolution size and windows size to become the same. To chooses the application toolbar. “Setting”-> video format will pop up shown in Figure Fig.5-45, to change “output size” value then, this output size expression video source resolution.

(5) Setting scale

50

Microscope Application Program http://www.ViTiny.com

The setting scale dialog box show in Fig.5-47. The following several to

explain operation

Fig.5-47 Setting scale dialog

 Scale default file

Scale default files have two types “Default Height Magnification” and

“Default Height Magnification” shown in Fig.5-48.

Fig.5-48 Scale default File

When the microscope is observing object with contacted distance, it has two focus points. Thus, it will have two kinds of scale value which are for low and high mag. When in low mag, the horizontal and vertical scale is 5.6 mm and 4.2mm. And when in high mag., the horizontal and vertical scale is

1.4mm and 1.05mm. If the default value is not right for the user, the scale value can reset or create a file for new value by calibrate the horizontal and vertical scale according to the user‟s preferences.

If want to return to the default file, check “Scale default” box than it will return back to two default

51
