CCD Video Camera
5.9 CCD Video Camera
Pictures taken by a CCD camera are transmitted
(directly) to the computer via a frame grabber.
The video transferred microscope image is dis-
played in real time on the monitor screen, which
allows to simultaneously observe the microscope
image with stage or manipulator control functions.
You can store the transferred images on the hard
disk of the computer or on another medium like
CD.
The camera is preset by P.A.L.M. Microlaser Tech-
nologies AG.
For changing camera parameters please observe
the manual of the camera.
