Spot Imaging Solutions, a division of Diagnostic Instruments, has released the SprintPic macro imaging system. The system includes a scientific-grade digital camera with a software-controlled motorised zoom lens on a lighted copy stand.
The large number of zoom levels accommodates a wide range of samples, from industrial parts to crime scene evidence to pathology grossing sections. The SprintPic software provides a monitor-sized live image preview with sliders for adjusting zoom level and iris aperture. Crosshair and grid reticles can be applied to the live preview to aid in counting or for visual inspection of part size.
Images can be automatically transferred to laboratory information systems or saved to network file servers for archival. Built-in high-output oblique and bottom lighting ensures true colour reproduction and shadow removal.
