3D digital microscope OCS-3D

OCS-3D is an additional set that extends OLYMPUS stereomicroscopes with functions for true 3D imaging on a special 3D LCD display and capturing of 3D and 2D digital images.

---

System description:

The OLYMPUS stereomicroscope is equipped with two optical outputs on which two digital cameras are attached. Each camera captures the image for corresponding eye. Both images are processed by the application software and displayed on a special 3D LCD display, which allows the spatial observation without any 3D glasses. The spatial effect is so persuasive, that the specimen seems to be so protruded from the screen that it can be grasped.

Functions:

• 3D live image of the observed specimen on a 3D monitor
• 3D observing for up to 3 persons using a single 3D monitor
• Possibility to connect several 3D monitors (using a video splitter) for educational and demonstrational purposes
• Capturing of tridimensional digital images and saving to a .jps files. This way the complete tridimensional image information can be stored.
• Display of saved 3D images
• Capturing and saving the standard 2D digital images

Fields of use:

The OCS-3D system is intended for all users of OLYMPUS SZX and SZX2 microscopes.

It can be used for example in following fields:

• Biological and medical fields – e.g. anatomy, entomology, botany
• Archeology, geology, mineralogy
• Display and control in technical fields – e.g. quality control, control of printed circuit assembly…
• Education

System parts:

The OCS-3D set contains all the parts (except for the computer) necessary for building the 3D digital microscope from a standard OLYMPUS SXZ or SXZ2 stereomicroscope:

• 3D LCD display
• 2x digital USB 2.0 CMOS camera
• Controlling software
• Optical devices for attaching the cameras to a microscope
• PCI USB 2.0 controller for connecting the cameras
• Calibrating plate
