Olympus DP70 User Manual

OLYMPUS IMAGING PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS

The DP70 is a 12.5-megapixel, 12-bit cooled digital color camera offering high
sensitivity and high-speed data transfer. This camera is equipped to capture
images with outstanding color fidelity from demanding application s including
fluorescence.

The 3.3-megapixel DP12 offers users maximum flexibility. Use it as a stand-alone
digital camera, operated conveniently from the compact handset control unit, or
interface it to a PC via USB technology.

View Hamamatsu's line of high resolution video and digital cameras specially
developed for microscopy and other scientific applications.

The MicroFire is a 2-megapixel, 12-bit FireWire™ digital camera. Comes complete
with easy-to-use PictureFrame software, allowing images to be acquired
effortlessly. Imaging has never been this easy! Choose from either a color or
monochrome model.

The Q-Color digital camera series is available in 5.0 and 3.2- megapixel versions.
Both deliver high-resolution images with outstanding detail an d great color f or
documentation and publication. Available with or without cooling.

This high performance, megapixel digital camera is designed to provide high­resolution, full-color images viewable on a PC via its FireWire™ (IEEE 1394) high­speed interface.

For digital imaging systems offering high performance and megapixel resolution,
choose from a color or monochrome 12-bit cooled FireWire™ digital camera
featuring high dynamic range, low noise, and high sensitivity for outstanding
results.
