True-Color Reproduction with ProgRes® microscope cameras

”Mineralogy” as an earth science primarily focuses on the chemical structure and the physical properties of minerals and stones. It is necessary to highlight the suitability of ProgRes® link:8172>microscope cameras in the investigation of crystals as well as petrography and petrology.

The main benefits of ProgRes® microscope cameras in these applications are the natural color reproduction in demanding contrast methods such as polarized light. Due to the outstanding dynamics of the cameras the visualization of difficult samples consisting of bright and dark sections can be performed smoothly.
