Brightfield Imaging
Brightfield Imaging Solutions for Bioresearch
Our SPOT camera and software solutions below can be mounted on any microscope for a complete solution for imaging stained tissue samples in brightfield transmitted light applications. They create sharp images with excellent color fidelity for documentation and journal publication.
Brightfield Microscope Imaging Solutions
SPOT Insight™ CMOS Camera
The SPOT Insight CMOS Camera featuring Sony’s Pregius™ CMOS sensor, delivers high speed, high resolution and high QE — features previously associated with much higher-priced cameras.
MagMinder™
MagMinder (patent pending) automatically tracks, records and imprints your images with the current magnification, calibration setting and reference mark. These automatic functions can save up to 2 minutes per slide over manual setting, recording and imprinting. This can have a significant impact in production environments.
SPOT Idea™ CMOS Camera
The SPOT Idea CMOS cameras deliver high impact color images for journal publication and industrial documentation at an economical price.
SPOT HDVision™ High Definition Video Camera
The SPOT HDVision cameras provide live video microscopy imaging in HD for conferences and classrooms without requiring a computer.
SPOT Basic Image Capture Software
The SPOT Basic software is a comprehensive but straightforward interface with features designed for microscopy imaging. Its interface includes pre-configured settings for different microscope illumination types so that the camera is optimized for your specific use. Image previewing is enhanced with the magnifier and focus gauge in the SPOT Basic live window interface. It provides user-friendly reports, reticles, measurements, calibration marks, time lapse, annotations, and automatic white balance features that make it simple to acquire impressive images.
SPOT Advanced Software
The SPOT Advanced microscopy software expands your imaging toolkit with a customizable database for archival, merging and pseudo-coloring of monochrome fluorescence channels, custom dialog boxes, variables and taskbars, macro scripting, live histogram, focus drift viewer for time lapse acquisition, image metadata, automatic background subtraction, external trigger options, and many other useful features. Optional modules for peripheral device control, quantitative imaging, extended third party software interfacing, and extended depth of focus processing can be added to the SPOT 5.3 Advanced software to support specialized applications.
