Computer Hardware and Software
The LSM 710 and LSM 780 systems are controlled via a standard high-end Xeon PC. Linking to the
electronic control system is made via Gigabit Ethernet interface. The PC comes with WINDOWS VISTA
operating system.
The instrument is fully motorized, permitting fast change-over between methods as well as automatic
operation. Parameters once set or complex examination sequences once established can be saved and
reproduced; therefore, complete application programs can be loaded and performed by pushbutton
control.
Conversion of the light signals into a digital image is effected by 16-bit A/D converters, each of which can
generate 65536 brightness levels.
The software provides an enormously wide range of image processing functions, including all standard
2D/3D (stereo, projection) functions identical to sophisticated 3D reconstruction capabilities (surface and
alpha rendering), digital processing of voxels and 3D measurement functions (surface areas, volumes).
