MULTIFORM MEASUREMENT TOOLS
The HD1500MET provides extremely powerful measurement functionality including: freehand lines, rectangles, polygons, circles, bicircles, angles, point-line distance and much more. In addition to the ability to measure point-line distance, angles, the length of curves and lines, the camera can measure the perimeter & area of enclosed features such as: rectangles, polygons, and circles. The unique calibration and magnification functions coupled with the ability to export the results to Excel or text files, make the measurements more convenient and simple.
MICRON LEVEL MEASUREMENT ACCURACY
The HD1500MET is capable of delivering measurements with a resolution of 10 nanometers which provides an incredible metrology capability in the most demanding situations.
MEASUREMENT FOR VARIOUS APPLICATIONS
In addition µm, the HD1500MET also provides calibrations in mm and cm, which will meet various measurement requirements in different applications. And these results provide objective and reliable data to support quantitative analysis.
CONVENIENT MEASUREMENT DATA MANAGEMENT
Two measurement results exporting modes (Excel and text) make the measurement data management more convenient.
30FPS HIGH SPEED LIVE IMAGE
With 30fps data transfer at an uncompressed resolution of 1920X1080, sets a precedent. It is one of the fastest USB2.0 cameras in the world.
EXCELLENT CAPABILITY FOR FLUORESCENCE
Taking advantage of the ultra high signal to noise ratio sensor, the HD1500MET provides for up to 10 seconds exposure time and gets finest detailed images, even for low light fluorescence.
3D NOISE REDUCTION
Longer exposure times increase the image noise. But the integrated 3D noise reduction function keeps the image always clean and sharp.
1080P VIDEO RECORDING
Just click the button to start recording 1080P videos at 30fps. The recorded video files will be saved to the high speed SD card. It is also possible to play back the videos from the SD card directly.

The TC-5000 Brightfield/Phase Contrast Series features include:
Brightfield:
The simplest of all the optical microscopy illumination techniques. Sample illumination is transmitted (i.e., illuminated from below and observed from above) white light and contrast in the sample is caused by absorbance of some of the transmitted light in dense areas of the sample. Brightfield microscopy is the simplest of a range of techniques used for illumination of samples in light microscopes and its simplicity makes it a popular technique. The typical appearance of a brightfield microscopy image is a dark sample on a bright background.
Phase Contrast:
An optical microscopy technique that converts phase shifts in light passing through a transparent specimen to brightness changes in the image. Phase shifts themselves are invisible, but become visible when shown as brightness variations. When light waves travel through a medium other than vacuum, interaction with the medium causes the wave amplitude and phase to change in a manner dependent on properties of the medium. Changes in amplitude (brightness) arise from the scattering and absorption of light, which is often wavelength-dependent and may give rise to colors. Photographic equipment and the human eye are only sensitive to amplitude variations. Without special arrangements, phase changes are therefore invisible.
The TC-5300 & TC-5400 Series are suitable for viewing colorless and transparent specimens and live cells. The TC-5300 & TC-5400 Series is a contrast-enhancing optical technique that can be utilized to produce high-contrast images of transparent specimens such as living cells, microorganisms, thin tissue slices, lithographic patterns, and sub-cellular particles (such as nuclei and other organelles). In effect, the phase contrast technique employs an optical mechanism to translate minute variations in phase into corresponding changes in amplitude, which can be visualized as differences in image contrast. One of the major advantages of phase contrast microscopy is that living cells can be examined in their natural state without being killed, fixed, and stained. As a result, the dynamics of ongoing biological processes in live cells can be observed and recorded in high contrast with sharp clarity of minute specimen detail.
