[. . . ] The Leica DFC500 ensures pin-sharp detail without moiré effect, color fringing or blooming. Great results under all microscopy conditions In addition to all common microscope processes, such as incidental and transmitted light, the Leica DFC500 digital camera is ideal for weak fluorescence and capturing the images of poorly illuminated specimens. With combined cooling from a Peltier element and fan, the camera's CCD sensor provides perfect image and color quality even from long exposures. The 2/3" CCD Sensor is encapsulated in a vacuum chamber to avoid condensation on the optics, even with difficult to image specimens. Flexible for all applications The Leica DFC500 is designed for all common contrast, light and dark procedures in microscopy, as well as for difficult fluorescence imaging. A choice of recording modes and resolutions provide excellent image quality in all applications Intuitive solutions for PC and MAC The camera's software makes digital recording on the screen quick and easy. For PC and MAC systems, the software is easy to operate using an interface specially designed for microscopy applications. Numerous intuitive image capture and editing functions ensure that the recorded images are immediately available for viewing and further processing, which offers optimum quality, and full use of all the benefits of digital technology.
