I’m very excited to announce Technical Instruments’ first ever camera-specific calibration product! At left is an image of the CC-560, or Camera calibrator, which emits photons at 560nm.
All of the cameras in the microscopy world rely upon a single defining point that (theoretically) justifies the price premium we pay for them. That defining point is [...]
Most of the time, I work with people who need measurable and accurate (quantitative) results from the images they obtain. While this constitutes the bulk of my daily job, there is a much larger group of people using cameras on microscopes for photomicrography. Or put simply — taking a picture of what you see through [...]
This is useful for large screens that are using very high resolutions. Sometimes the icons are so small as to be hard to click and unreadable.
Open Elements and select the View Menu, then Layout, then open the “Layout Manager”.
Next select the “Toolbar” Section on the Left (Step 1), then Select the “Large Icons” Checkbox on [...]

While this is great for the compound scope systems out there, [...]
Happy New Year!
Laura Sysko from Nikon sent us a How-To on outputting live graphs that can be included with a timelapse or other ND file. You can find the How To Here.

Unfortunately the march of time made a dent in this camera. The system, like many others, relied upon a proprietary PCI card for transfer of image data to [...]
