SANTA BARBARA, CA - Optronics® ,
a manufacturer of easy-to-use advanced scientific grade CCD
cameras for microscopy, announces the release of PictureFrame
2.2 a new comprehensive camera control package and advanced
image-processing suite included at no charge with their new
line of Firewire based cameras.
PictureFrame 2.2 includes a new graphical user interface (GUI)
that controls the CRI® Macro-ColorT tunable liquid crystal
RGB filter. Three independent exposures can be taken and combined
automatically, generating a high resolution RGB color image.
The implementation of this filter provides full CCD pixel utilization
and full co-site sampled RGB resolution with resolution up
to 12 million pixels for their line of quantitative monochrome
cameras.
Other PictureFrame 2.2 features include: Auto-Exposure, Real-Time
Six Channel User Adjustable Color Correction with customizable
algorithm for precise color reproduction, Live Pseudo Coloring
that permits the human eye to discriminate in real-time millions
of intensity levels within a monochrome image and Live Frame
Averaging with Motion Compensation Control that increases dynamic
range and reduces read noise. Other real-time functions include
live Gamma, Brightness, Contrast control and much more.
Post processing features include Six Channel Multiplexed Fluorescent
Imaging, a highly sophisticated imaging tool that effortlessly
combines up to six different image files of various bit depths.
Color Merge, Measurement and Annotation, Image Scripting, Macros,
Flat-Field Batch Processing for Flat-field correction/Background
subtraction and Report Generation functionality are also included.
PictureFrame 2.2 is a free upgrade to all Optronics customers
currently using earlier versions of PictureFrame, and is now
available for download, online at http://download.optronics.com.
