Biological Microscopes

Choose and apply settings easily according to the specimen and observation method — then capture photos quickly

Easy, accurate focusing

A focusing indicator function makes focusing easy; a line profile function lets you focus accurately on userdefined regions. Additionally, on live images, the center of the field of view can be magnified up to 2 times.

Instant full-screen display of live images

Instant full-screen display of live images

Press the F11 key or click the toolbar button for instant full-screen display of the current live image. Images can be acquired by pressing the F8 key while in fullscreen display mode.

Minimize file size by framing and clipping a region of interest

A region of interest within the live image can be designated, clipped and saved. The size and position can be user-defined easily.

Photometric areas can be set freely

Photometric areas can be set freely

Three photometric metering options, of varying area sizes, are available to optimize specimen exposure: 30%, 1%, 0.1%. The selected area can be moved freely, allowing ideal exposures by eliminating frame changes caused by moving the specimen.

Display a scale bar, annotation, date, and time

A reference scale bar can be displayed, overlayed, and subsequently burned onto a saved image. An annotation function allows the addition of text/captions to an image.

Customize and memorize user settings

Customize and memorize user settings

Image acquisition settings are recorded at the time of software shut down and recalled automatically at the next start up. Simply choose your options from a list of settings. Save additional file settings for different users or microscope configurations.


Quickly find the image you want and start working with it

Displayed folder tree minimizes clicking

All folders containing stored data are clearly displayed. Finding your image is quick and easy.

Easy-to-view thumbnail display

Easy-to-view thumbnail display

Stored images can be displayed simultaneously as thumbnails; size can be changed by pressing a button.Locating, selecting, and displaying an image is performed quickly. Simply drag and drop!



Shading adjustment

Shading adjustment

This feature lets you correct uneven areas of illumination in images taken at low magnification, as well as in DIC images.



Overlay fluorescent images

  • Combine multiple color or grayscale images (from a single specimen) from different excitation wavelengths, into a single final image.
  • For image optimization, the DP71 has a pixel registration function which provides accurate overlay of mages from different filter sets.
  • Save composite images as Multi-TIFF files.

Support for TWAIN

Camera control by interfacing with third-party software; process images freely (e.g. Adobe Photoshop and Microsoft applications).
