Toshiba Imaging Systems has entered into an OEM relationship with Dage-MTI to introduce two high-definition (HD) cameras designed specifically for microscopy applications, including oral surgery.
Dage-MTI's RealView HD microscope cameras combine Toshiba Imaging's proprietary 3CCD prism block camera technology with specially formatted, preset values for use in microscopy, according to the companies.
Dage-MTI's single-chip RealView HD-210 microscope camera operates at 1080p, 60 frames per second (fps), with a 2.1 million pixel sensor. The real-time HD image provides true 1920 x 1080 resolution and matches exactly the pixel-to-pixel resolution of the 16 x 9 ratio HD monitors and digital light processing (DLP) projectors, without vertical or horizontal stretching.
Dage-MTI's RealView HD-330 microscope camera offers fast frame rate operation in 1080i mode at 30 fps and features exceptionally smooth motion. The high signal-to-noise ratio enables excellent sensitivity with clear definition and color contrast, even in low-light conditions, the companies said.
Both RealView HD microscopy cameras can be connected directly to high-definition monitors via digital video interface (DVI) output or HDMI cables, eliminating the need for software or a PC, and can be paired with Dage-MTI's RealView Magic Box for a imaging capture and review.
