  • Can I use a camera without connecting to a PC?

    This article discusses how it may be possible to stream images from a camera directly to a video system without using a PC connection.

  • How do I use my camera with Macintosh OS X?

    Our imaging products may be used with a variety of software programs on OS X. This table lists the our cameras compatible with certain software programs used on OS X.

  • Images are out of focus using a C-mount or CS-mount lens

    Many of our camera models come equipped with a CS-mount lens holder. This lens holder is designed to accommodate a CS-mount lens, and when equipped with a C-mount lens spacer, a C-mount lens.

  • Maximum possible image size of color 5.0MP Grasshopper varies with pixel format.

    This article describes why, in some cases, it is not possible to access the maximum reported image size on a color 5MP Grasshopper GRAS-50S5C.

  • FlyCapture SDK Download

    The FlyCapture® Software Development Kit (SDK) provides a common software interface to control and acquire images for FLIR area scan USB 3.1, GigE, FireWire, and USB 2.0 cameras using the same API under 32- or 64-bit Windows or Linux. Note: Blackfly S cameras use our latest SDK: Spinnaker. Spinnaker also supports all USB 3.1 and GigE area scan cameras.

  • Stereo Accuracy and Error Modeling

    The objective of this document is to give a reasonable approximation of stereo errors in 3D and to outline the methods customers can use to determine the tolerances themselves.

  • Troubleshooting Neural Network Conversion Errors

    This application note describes some common errors that can occur when converting neural network graph files, compares performance before and after conversion, and provides a list of supported layers.

  • Camera Test Protocol

    The detector is one of the most important components of any microscope system. Accurate detector readings are vital for collecting reliable biological data to process for publication.To ensure your camera is performing as well as it should be, Photometrics designed a range of tests that can be performed on any microscope.

  • Introduction To Light Sheet Microscopy

    During the last two decades, microscopy has been constantly trying to exploit new boundaries. By aiming for smaller details, cameras and other detectors needed to become more sensitive and less noisy due to less available photons per resolvable detail

  • iSPIM and diSPIM

    Light sheet microscopy overcomes the challenges of imaging physiological processes. Light exposure can result in phototoxic effects and photodamage on biological samples, which can disrupt cellular functions.

  • Imaging In Color

    Life is full of color, and capturing an image that replicates human perception of color is an important, and sometimes challenging, aspect of both everyday life and scientific research. Although many cameras, such as phone cameras, video cameras, and commercial digital cameras, produce color images, a large portion of scientific research is carried out using monochrome cameras.

  • Lattice Light Sheet

    Light sheet is one of the fastest growing fields in microscopy due to the low cost, flexibility and fast 3D imaging of large samples. In other microscopy techniques, the illumination and imaging systems use the same light path and on the same axis.
