ProgRes® Digital Microscope Camera

Microscope with a ProgRes® camera

A digital microscope camera of the ProgRes®-family is based on decades of experience in development and production of high-end solutions for digital imaging.
The integration of a ProgRes® microscope camera into the laboratory is easy. The ProgRes® microscope camera connects via C-mount to the microscope. The connection to the computer is done via Firewire.
For all contrast methods in light microscopy you find a suitable model out of the ProgRes® microscope camera family at best price-performance-ratio.

Essential:

Life Science

Reproducibility and sensitivity are the important requirements to a digital Microscope camera in life science applications. For fluorescence imaging we offer three monochrome microscope camera models:
ProgRes® MF
ProgRes® MFcool
ProgRes® MFscan
If you look for a sensitive color microscope camera, you will find a wide range of cameras at the ProgRes® microscope camera family. ProgRes® CF,
ProgRes® CFcool,
ProgRes® CFscan
ProgRes® C14plus.

Material Science

A microscope with a ProgRes® microscope camera is an absolutely reliable and productive working place, easy to use, and delivering images with very high quality. To capture color images in excellent quality using a microscope in Material science we recommend a camera out of the following list:
ProgRes® CT3
ProgRes® C3
ProgRes® C5
ProgRes® CF
ProgRes® CFcool
ProgRes® CFscan
ProgRes® C14plus

Flexible:

Macroscopy

Very high resolution and flexibility are required from a digital camera used in stereo microscopy and macroscopy. With the Macro-Photography workstation, consisting of a copystand, a macro zoom lens, a foot switch, and a ProgRes® microscope camera, you document your objects fast, precise and reliable. The Macro-Photography workstation can be equipped with any ProgRes® microscope camera. Please look up your best-suited model out of the ProgRes® microscope camera family.

The ProgRes® microscope camera family offers the right camera for all contrast methods in light microscopy or macro-photography.

In applications, where exact reproduction of colors is the first priority, ProgRes® offers camera models with finest details, because every color channel is digitized in 14 Bits.

With the help of the patented "color-co-site-sampling" used in ProgRes® C14plus a real color image is generated without any interpolation and moire effect.

Experience for years in using color sensors and the exact adjustment of the ProgRes® camera to the microscope guarantee that your ProgRes® camera delivers images with absolutely natural colors.

Qualitative and quantitative analysis of images only make sense, if microscope and camera provide absolutely reproducible and high-quality images. And exactly this distinguishes a microscope with ProgRes® camera.

High-grade electronics of a ProgRes® microscope camera and analog gain guarantee digital images at a very low noise level, even at low light conditions and with long exposure times.

Depending on your requirements you choose a ProgRes® microscope camera with monochrome sensor or with color sensor.

Especially when long exposure times are needed, we recommend a cooled microscope camera. Cooling in the CF- and MF-series uses a Peltier element and a heat sink. The sensor is integrated into a capsule which is hermetically sealed and nitrogen flushed.

An important prerequisite for productive work with a digital microscope camera is a fast live image. A microscope with a ProgRes® camera can be set up fast and precisely thanks to the fast live image. In addition ProgRes® CapturePro software supports your setup of microscope and camera in many cases e.g. with a focus tool, by selecting the correct exposure time automatically, or with calibration data for your microscope.

All parameters for taking an image are stored, hence you can capture your images with exactly the same parameters again and again. This makes your reports, generated with a ProgRes® microscope camera, absolutely comparable.

The high resolution of a ProgRes® camera in combination with the very good lense of the Macro-workstation, delivers digital images at the level of stereo-microscope.
The image capture software ProgRes® CapturePro supports you again with lots of features like rotated live image, a continuously adjusted exposure time, or with displaying a scale bar and measurement values.
The capture is done easily by pressing the foot switch. This keeps your head and hands free and let you fully concentrate on your macro-photographic task.
