Any microscope, equipped with a ProgRes® microscope camera is an absolutely reliable and productive working place, easy to use, delivering images of highest quality. Capturing color images with excellent fidelity in the various contrast methods of light microscopy becomes mere child’s play using a ProgRes® digital camera for micro and macro applications.

Reproducibility and sensitivity are the important requirements to a digital microscope camera in life science applications. For fluorescence imaging we offer our MF-series of cameras, which has just been extended by the brand new, high speed / high sensitivity ProgRes® MS.
If you look for a sensitive color microscope camera, you will find a wide range of cameras at the ProgRes® microscope camera family – especially within the CF-series of cameras.
Very high resolution and flexibility are required from a digital camera used in stereo microscopy and macroscopy. Those are key benefits of all the ProgRes® cameras with resolutions of 5 or more mega pixel (ProgRes® CFscan as well as the ProgRes® C14plus).

In applications, where exact reproduction of colors is the first priority, ProgRes® offers camera models with finest details, because every color channel is digitized with up to 14bits.
With the help of the patented "color-co-site-sampling" used in ProgRes® C14plus a real color image is generated without any interpolation and Moiré effect. Microscanning helps to achieve a high spatial resolution as the sensor is moved in sub-pixel steps. At any step an intermediate image is acquired. This way information from in between neighbouring pixels can be resolved. The detection of such fine structures is unrivalled and makes the Microscanning cameras even more attractive.
This helps to support our research customers. Please read through this application report to find out how Microscanning improves the performance in “Digital Holography Microscopy”.

Experience for years in controlling both color as well as monochrome image sensors and the exact adjustment of the ProgRes® camera to microscopy requirements guarantee that your ProgRes® camera delivers images with absolutely natural colors – just as you see through your eyepieces.
Qualitative and quantitative analysis of images only make sense, if microscope and camera provide absolutely reproducible and high-quality images. And exactly this distinguishes a microscope with ProgRes® camera.

High-performance, low-noise electronics of a ProgRes® microscope camera and analogue gain guarantee digital images at a very low noise level, even at low light conditions and with long exposure times.
Depending on your requirements you may choose a ProgRes® microscope camera with monochrome sensor or with color sensor.

Especially when long exposure times are needed, we recommend a cooled microscope camera. Cooling in the CF- and MF-series uses a Peltier element and a heat sink. The sensor is integrated into a capsule which is hermetically sealed and nitrogen flushed.
An important prerequisite for productive work with a digital microscope camera is a fast live image. A microscope with a ProgRes® camera can be set up fast and precisely thanks to the fast live image. In addition ProgRes® CapturePro software supports your setup of microscope and camera in many cases e.g. with a focus tool, by selecting the correct exposure time automatically, or with calibration data for your microscope.
All parameters for taking an image are stored; hence you can capture your images with exactly the same parameters again and again. This makes your reports, generated with a ProgRes® microscope camera, absolutely comparable.

The high resolution of a ProgRes® camera in combination with the very good lens of the Macro-workstation, delivers digital images at the level of stereo-microscope.

The image capture software ProgRes® CapturePro supports you again with lots of features like rotated live image, a continuously adjusted exposure time, or with displaying a scale bar and measurement values. Also useful features like Z-Stacking (extended depth of focus), full screen live mode, text stamp and a fully automated multi-fluorescence capture mode are included free of charge in our ProgRes® CapturePro software. Registered users of our imaging systems may download the software at any time!
