From brightfield to fluorescence observation,
several different specimens can be viewed at
a high resolution recognized as leading the
digital imaging world.

Each microscope digital camera in the SZX2 lineup captures images at high resolution. Olympus
stereomicroscopes and digital cameras contribute to cutting-edge research in biology and medicine.

With the DP71, live images are displayed with 1360 x 1024 pixel
resolution at a rate of 15 fps. Thanks to this smooth and fast display
of live images, users now can perform observation without stress.
By shifting the 1.45 mega pixel CCD, the camera delivers extremely
high-resolution images equivalent to 12.5 million pixels. The high-
speed image processing hardware captures these quality images in
3 seconds. Furthermore, when acquiring monochrome fluorescence
images in gray scale, the custom gray-scale mode maintains a dynamic
range with full RGB intensity.
DP20 is a stand-alone type without the need of a PC. Featuring high-
resolution imaging displayed at the high rate of 15fps for smooth,
easy-to-view display of live specimen images. Digital zooming
function wastes no time in focusing on selected areas. The RGB 24-bit
(16.7 million colors) configuration will bring about rich, high-contrast
streaming and video images that offer true-to-life colors. From
various settings to the scales display, operations are done on the
compact control box.
Handling is made easier than ever, even when mounting a heavy unit
like a large camera (maximum load of 14kg). Another advantage of this
unit is that the user can stand away from the microscope for monitor
observation. Manual coarse focusing and fine focusing are both possible
when motorized control is engaged. A foot switch controls motorized
zooming and focusing, which frees the user’s hands for higher
concentration on operation, improving overall work efficiency during
observation and image capture.

The revolving nosepiece
matches the objective lens
center to the zoom lens optical
path for images with reduced
aberration. Image shifting from
focus change is eliminated for
effective 3D rendering by
software.
