DIGITALA Family of Digital Cameras To meet Every NeedThe six digital cameras introduced here make up a family of products that are carefully selected to meet the

different imaging needs of modern industry. As well as offering choices of resolution level (number of pixels),

frame rate and color reproduction quality, the family includes a standalone model (DP20) that can be operated

without a PC, and are therefore ideal for users with limited desktop space.

Whether you want simple image acquisition, faster production line inspections or in-depth materials analysis,

you'll find the features and functions to match your specific requirements. Each model offers clear, easy-to-see

images, durable construction and easy, user-friendly operation.

SOFTWAREGetting results quickly and easily: analySIS FIVE makes the most of your digital cameraAs one of the world's leading microscope manufacturers, Olympus now introduces the ideal software for

analyzing digital camera images: analySIS FIVE. Highly sophisticated yet remarkably easy to use, analySIS

FIVE lets you carry out a wide variety of image handling tasks via your PC or an independent controller —

from processing and analysis to storage and documentation.

The ability of analySIS FIVE to make the most of your hardware's capabilities is also your assurance of

support for the expanding work requirements of the future.

Camera and Microscope ControlThis allows digital camera and microscope* operationsto be controlled from the software. A complete series ofprocesses, from initial observation to final reportcreation, can be completed on your PC.*Controllable cameras are limited to models introduced in this catalog

and microscopes are limited to our microscopes. Controllable functions

vary according to the models.

MeasurementCounting particles...measuring dimensions...calculatingthe distance between two lines...analySIS FIVE handlestasks like these with ease. Results can also besaved/output together with the images.

DatabaseThe software systematically stores all your images,analysis results, datasheets, graphs, and other acquireddata. This makes it easy to grasp the complete picture,and to search for whatever data you need.

ReportImages can be laid out and edited without anyrestriction. Some example documentation templates areprovided, or you can create original formats, producingprofessionally-finished reports and documents inwhatever styles you choose.

Stitching ImagesMultiple adjacent images can be stitched together intoone, in a natural way that doesn't show abrupt joints.This function is especially useful for observing largeareas which cannot be captured in a single image.

Image acquisition, processing, analysis, storage...the many features of analySIS FIVE ensureseamless software operations

Extended Focal ImageMultiple versions of the same image, each focused at adifferent position, can be combined to produce a single,wholly-focused image. This function allows clearimaging of samples with different height levels on thesurface, which cannot be observed all together at thesame time conventionally.

3D ImageBy adding height/texture information to multi-focusedimages obtained with the "Extended Focal Image"(see above), you can create realistic 3D views.

Particle AnalysisAutomatic separation of particles within a given image ispossible using the integrated separator function. Userscan set a specific "detection area" or ROI (region ofinterest). Many other parameters can be used tomeasure all particles automatically, or carry out statisticaldata processing.

Fast Fourier Transformation (FFT)Used to analyze frequency, FFT enables patternrecognition and the creation of special short/long passfilters to eliminate or preserve specific frequency ranges. A shortpass filter eliminates noise at high spatialfrequencies, while a longpass filter passes high spacialfrequency elements to obtain sharper or more clearlyoutlined images.

Imaging CThis original programming language lets users write theirown programs, custom-tailoring their work environmentby automating frequently-used analysis patterns oradding other original functions to expand the software'scapabilities.

analySIS inclusion inspector Non-metallic inclusions in steel are the cause of dangerous andserious material defects such as brittleness and a wide variety ofcrack formations. Non-metallic inclusions are sulphidic or oxidic in composition andare due to the melting process. All steels contain non-metallicinclusions to a greater or lesser extent. It is particularly important todetermine how pure the steel is. This provides information on theextent of sulphidic and oxidic non-metallic inclusions present.Characters • Detecting inclusions no matter what the field of view• Distinguishes between sulphidic and oxidic inclusions • Compatible with ASTM E45, DIN 50602 and JIS G-0555
