SPOT RT3 Cooled 2 Mp CCD Scientific Color Digital Camera System for Microscopy - Refurbished

Cooled Color Camera!

The SPOT RT3 Color digital camera is excellent for brightfield and fluorescence imaging applications. The RT3 Color is the newest camera version from the popular RT line of cameras, and delivers improved performance in a number of areas. The RT3 Color camera offers 14-bit high speed data readout and user-friendly Firewire connectivity. It delivers exceptional color images through the application of ICC color profiling standards. The RT3 Color digital system has very low read noise which provides higher dynamic range when combined with the deep pixel wells of its Kodak KAI 2020-CM CCD. Frame capture rates have been tripled when compared with its predecessor.

This is a complete package including the SPOT RT3 Color camera head, Firewire cable, power supply, power supply cable, and SPOT Basic software CD.
This camera was used for some internal demonstrations but functions and looks brand new. The only additional items required to get started imaging with the camera are a coupler for your microscope and a Firewire adapter card, if you don't have a Firewire port on your computer. Please review the Suggested Accessories tab for information about those.

SPOT Software

The RT3 cameras come with SPOT Basic software included at no additional charge. The SPOT Basic application enables microscopists to create publication-quality pictures easily. The live image preview window is ideal for panning through slides and for fine focusing. Acquiring flawless images is as effortless as a single mouse click. After image capture, measurements, calibration marks, and other enhancements can be applied. Images can be dropped into a SPOT report for printing, or saved in several different file formats for future distribution. The SPOT Basic application provides all of the necessary tools for most imaging applications.

Additional software features can be found in the SPOT Advanced and SPOT Advanced Plus software modes. For more information about the different SPOT software modes available and their functionality, please see http://www.spotimaging.com/software/spotsoftwarecomparepc.html.

SPOT Advanced Software

For users that would like even more imaging tools, the RT3 cameras are also compatible with the SPOT Advanced software, which includes macro scripting for automating routine tasks, custom taskbars for commonly used functions, image merging, and pre-configured image setups.

SPOT Advanced Plus Software

PC customers can also consider the SPOT Advanced Plus software, which includes peripheral device control and extended depth of focus capabilities.

Stage Micrometers

Stage micrometers allow you to calibrate your SPOT camera system so that accurate measurements can be added to your images.
