The DP70 is a 12-bit camera, producing images with 36-bits of RGB color depth for recording subtle color gradations and intensities. Now a microscopist can utilize the full range of a microscope’s optics. Simply match the microscope’s resolution to the camera’s resolution with one of the four resolution options: 4080x3072, 2040x1536, 1360x1024, or 680x512. The final result is images that are created with outstanding detail and color in only 3 seconds.

The DP70 uses a 1.45 million pixel CCD with a Bayer color filter. To increase the spatial resolution, the CCD is coupled with pixel-shifting technology; resulting in images with an ultra-high resolution of 4080 x 3072 pixels. This camera is an excellent choice for a broad range of imaging applications including fluorescence; incorporating excellent sensitivity, Peltier cooling, and a unique SFL (super fluorescence) auto-exposure mode.

Developed by Olympus, the camera control software utilized by the DP70 has easy-to-use menus and a graphic user interface that is based on an advanced, multi-function photomicrography concept. Included in the program is an image management interface where the stored images, displayed as thumbnails, are easily dragged and dropped for viewing. In addition, there is a 6-channel image merging function where fluorescence and DIC combinations can be merged into one multi-color image.
