Computer Microscope Comparison |
| |
| Typical computer microscope configurations consist of a camera connected to a monitor with a cable. The camera is mounted on a “boom” arm/stand or attached to a conventional microscope. When the camera is on a separate arm, it uses optical lenses mounted in front of the image sensor. Cameras mounted on a conventional microscope use its optics. The computer monitor displays the magnified images from the camera and can be placed almost anywhere in the workstation. Although there is a lot of flexibility in placing the camera and monitor, their alignment and location may not be user friendly and desirable from an ergonomic standpoint. With its compact size and 360°, 3-point articulating arm, the speckFINDER addresses all of these issues. |

| It is important to note that increasing the monitor size will make the magnified images look larger, but will not improve the image resolution produced by the optics and camera. A computer microscope system that uses a large monitor may report high magnification power based on screen size, but may actually have low resolution and poor clarity. The camera and optics determine the image quality and resolution at higher magnification levels. The built in high resolution CCD camera in the speckFINDER ensures excellent image resolution with 1x to 40x continuous magnification. |
