4.10 VIDEO CAMERA
The Hitachi video camera monitors the gap between the sample and the bottom of the
dewar. It is mounted behind the dewar, facing to the front, and the gap between the dewar
and the sample is back-lit using the Dolan-Jenner fiber-optic illuminator.
The software for viewing the camera image is independent of the MagScan application. It is
started by clicking on the Camera icon on the desktop. This will open up a front panel on
the right-hand monitor that shows the live camera image.
The image can be panned and zoomed using the controls to the left of the image. Also,
there are controls for drawing fixed shapes on top of the image.
Pressing the
camera
button will capture an image and save it with an automatically-
generated name, consisting of the date and time. It will be stored along with the scan data
files
under
c:\MagScan\Experiment_Data\<YYYYMMM>\<date>_<time>_Camera.bmp
.
