Dark Field Microscope OPTIKA STANDARD-Set

Product number: OPTIKA-SET-STANDARD
Ready for shipping

Dark Field Microscope STANDARD-Set

The standard set is a complete dark field system with LED technology for vital blood observation through the eyepieces and live view as well as recording of images and videos through the integrated camera. It is a standard solution for users who, on the one hand, value high image quality and on the other hand, want to work with a PC or notebook under Windows.

The supplied USB camera offers a very high resolution of 3840x2160 (8.3MP) and can still achieve a high refresh rate of up to 45 fps thanks to the USB 3.0 interface. This achieves a smooth motion display despite of the high data volume transferred.

The "small difference" to the UHD Set

The main difference to our higher quality UHD set is that the camera in the standard set does not have an HDMI output. This means that it can only be used under Windows and cannot be operated in HDMI mode, in which a camera can be connected directly to a monitor without a PC.

Standard set content:

  • Dark field microscope OPTIKA B-510DK
  • Microscope camera adapter HDC MA-24 (1x)
  • Microscope camera HDC DF2

You will find a more detailed description of the individual set components below.

USB Microscope camera HDC DF2

The DF2 model is the right choice for users who, on the one hand, have high quality requirements and, on the other hand, need a high-resolution microscope camera with good performance in difficult lighting conditions. Such applications are e.g. dark field, fluorescence or bioluminescence microscopy.

A good image quality is guaranteed by the SONY IMX485 image sensor (1/1.2"). In terms of resolution, this model offers a resolution of 8.3 MP (3840x2160) and offers a USB 3.0 interface which is the state of the art for transmission performance while working.

The camera is ideal for capturing the weak light emitted in fluorescence applications - thanks to its extremely high sensitivity (2188 mV at 1/30 sec) and low read-out noise.

Flexible exposure times : In addition to the auto exposure, the exposure time and the gain can be selected manually depending on the application. The exposure time can be selected in the software between 0.02 msec and 15 sec.

Software functions ImageView

The Windows software ImageView is included in the scope of delivery of the HDC DF2 microscope camera. Below you will find the user interface (language can be changed) and the most important functions.
