Simple operation based on easy-to­read LCD display
The control box features a minimum of buttons to ensure simple, straightforward operation. Settings are clearly shown on the LCD display and changed by simply pushing the buttons. 35mm/large-format camera selection is performed automatically.
Photography conditions are easy to confirm even in the dark, thanks to the clear graphical display of shutter speed, measuring area, film number, camera format, exposure compensation and compensation for reciprocity failure.
Extend your capabilities with PM series accessories
Compatibility with large-format and Polaroid camera operation as well as 35mm SLR. For 35mm film, DX code sensing is automatic, to ensure correct ISO setting every time. 35mm film loading/winding/rewinding are all automatic, to prevent setting and operating errors.
Extra editing convenience: data imprinting units are available for 35mm and Polaroid 3 1/4
4 1/4 cameras.
Foot switch available for foot-operated shutter release.
A variety of adapters for different kinds of microscopes and a wide range of magnification photo eyepieces are also available.
100% light Path. 1% spot measuring to accommodate specimens for fluorescence observation
The PM10SP employs Olympus­developed original IC measuring. Highly precise exposure control is possible through 30% average measuring (suitable for brightfield observation) and 1% spot measuring for both scattered specimens in darkfield observation and observation of bright fluorescence specimens.
The 100% light path with built-in memory allows 100% of the light to reach the film. Accurate metering of 50% of the light intensity allows 50% of the light to be diverted to the viewer for easy framing, even for dark specimens. The anti-vibration shutter mechanism combined with direct 100% exposure capability (performed by pushing the mirror aside with a cam) ensures clear, sharp pictures even at high shutter speeds.
Convenient palm-sized control box saves desk space
The palm-sized control box saves desk space, and enables setting adjustments to be made without unnecessary hand movements. The ability to confirm operating conditions without looking up lets the user work more efficiently.
