Get Cleaner Images from Better Sensitivity!

The quality of an image can be affected by the sensitivity of the image sensor and related electronics.
Cameras with poor sensitivity will produce images that look Grainy*.
[*Graininess results from poor “Signal to Noise Ratio” (SNR)]

The Next Frontier in Brightfield Imaging

SPOT Imaging has ushered in a new epoch for brightfield microscopy, providing real time, high detailed, displays of your samples. This capability has been achieved through revolutionary changes to the image sensors, camera electronics, graphics processing and computer interfaces.

Super fast USB3!

USB 3.0 adds the new transfer rate referred to as SuperSpeed USB (SS) that can transfer data at up to 5 Gbit/s (625 MB/s), which is about ten times as fast as the USB 2.0 standard.

Now your lab can get your microscopy images Ten Times faster than USB 2.0!

With the USB 3.0 Interface, you’ll also get universal connectivity to laptop and desktop computers!

ICC Color Profiling

Pathologists currently make diagnoses on images they see through the microscope. When pathologists share images (for example at tumor boards) they desire to show what they saw under the microscope. (i.e. “what you see in the microscope is what you show on the display”)

Raw captured images are limited by the physics of camera design resulting in errors reproducing what the eye sees. This is because the color curves of the camera do not match the eye.

Correcting these curves can be done by a proprietary process, but the best methods have been developed by the International Color Consortium (ICC) which provides an international standard. This method allows manufacturers of cameras to produce a correction file that converts the raw color data from the camera to a color corrected output image.

The quality of the results is dependent on what you optimize. SPOT optimizes the ICC color correction files specifically for microscopy slides and the stains used to produce them. This takes extra effort, but we think you’re worth it. That’s why SPOT’s colors look so good.

ICC (International Color Consortium) is the world standard for color management.

SPOT Imaging has optimized the Insight Camera’s ICC profiles for microscopy stains.

With SPOT ICC color profiles you get the best color possible from your microscopy imaging.

Make a Lasting Impression with Outstanding Images!

In the best of all worlds…

Your images would be neutral white and evenly illuminated from corner to corner. In the real world, the color temperature of your illuminator will cast a hue on your images, generally blue or red. Additionally, the physical characteristics of the imaging system will cause the brightness and hue to vary across your image*.

( *-This results from structure in the light source, variance of light ray density in the condenser, angle sensitivity variance of the camera sensor… among many other factors that are part of the real-world physical components ).

Two image correction features resolve these issues:

#1 Getting white right with White Balance:

White Balance corrects the hue of your image by sampling white and adjusting the balance between the red, green and blue color channels and setting them equal**, hence the name “White Balance”.
[See image samples below]

( **-Note that equal amounts of red, green, and blue light combined to be perceived as white by the human eye )

#2 Normalizing illumination with Flat Field Correction:

A Flat field correction samples a reference image at each magnification and calculates a correction factor for each pixel. The correction factor either boosts or attenuates the brightness of the pixel to match the average pixel value in the image. The result is an evenly illuminated final image.
