Image Acquisition
With the color variant (AxioCam
MRc
), you can use these setting options
(
RGB
or
B/W
) to determine whether the camera should supply a color or a
black and white image. This may be desirable for fluorescence images, or to
reduce the amount of data. The camera will always acquire a color image,
which is then converted to a black and white image.
In
RGB
mode only odd Binning modes, in
B/W
mode only even Binning
modes are available. This is caused by the structure of the color filters on the
pixels.
AxioCam
MRm
works always in the b/w mode. All Binning modes are always
available.

Optical adaption of the camera
The camera resolution can be selected between Binning and Standard.
The camera has a 2/3" CCD sensor with dimensions of 8.8 mm x 6.6 mm.
This corresponds to an image diagonal of approx. 11 mm.
To optimize the size of the camera’s field of view a camera adapter with a
magnification factor of 0.63x is recommended. In this case approx. 42% of
the intermediate image is acquired with a microscopical field of view of 20
mm in diameter.
To adapt the camera in the best possible way to the resolution of the
objectives a camera adapter with a magnification factor of 1.0x is
recommended.
The color quality is comparable with that of 3-chip CCD video cameras,
without the need for an expensive beam splitter.
In the
color mode the following resolutions are available:
276 x 208
Binning mode 5x5
460 x 344
Binning mode 3x3
1388 x 1040
Single image, color interpolation
