ProgRes® C3, C5, C7Visualize exact colorsExcellent color reproduction and high resolution are the distinguishing features of the cameras of the ProgRes® CCD Routine range. Providing excellent digital images of the finest color gradings, they offer sophisticated use. With up to 7 megapixel resolution, these cameras are ideal tools for high-quality image documentation and elementary image analysis. ProgRes® C3 and ProgRes® C5 are optionally available with cooling.High resolution in motion The ProgRes® C7 combines a 7 mega pixels CCD sensor with a mechanical shutter, presented as the first offer of a microscope camera that requires but a single shot to deliver this high resolution with superior image quality, including of objects in motion. ProgRes® CCD Routine cameras produce excellent digital images of finest color gradings for sophisticated applications. Each camera model can work in all contrast methods in light microscopy. ProgRes® C3 and ProgRes® C5 are optionally available with cooling. Benefits • Perfect color reproduction • Excellent image quality • High resolution & fast live image

ProgRes® CS/ MS USB, CF/ MF USB, CFcool/ MFcool, CFscan/ MFscan/ C14plus Discover optimal image qualityAll color and monochrome cameras of the ProgRes® CCD Research camera range have been optimized for applications in exacting tasks. Especially when working with low-light specimens, the high sensitivity of these models produces brilliant images. Expeditious and smooth operation is provided by sensitive CCD sensors, optionally available with cooling, offering high frame rates and a broad dynamic range. The sophisticated microscanning technology provided in the scanning ProgRes® cameras allows for capturing images of up to 12.5 megapixel, even in true color. ProgRes® CS/ MS for highest sensitivity Due to the very large pixel size of 8.3 μm these USB 2.0 cameras are especially suitable for most sensitive applications, where also a very fast live image is required. Even moving objects can be recorded and fast processes can be followed up. ProgRes® C14plus for true colors For detailed image analysis and informative image documentation, the Microscanning technology provided in the scanning ProgRes® CCD Research cameras allows for capturing overview images and details in high-resolution of up to 12.5 mega pixels. The ProgRes® C14plus offers genuine color reproduction in proper detail with up to 12.5 mega pixels. It’s patented Color-Co-Site-Sampling records the color information exactly in three color channels for an absolutely real color image. Benefits • Perfect color reproduction • Outstanding image quality • Highest resolution & fast live image • High sensitivity & low noise

ProgRes® CT1, CT3, CT5 USBFast Live Image Designed to provide maximum versatility and cost- effectiveness, the digital microscope cameras of the ProgRes® CMOS range enable quick and precise setting of specimen and microscope. The fast live images meet the requirements of professionals, and the outstanding CMOS technology and the high resolutions make these ProgRes® cameras the first choice imaging solution for usage in education institutes and training labs.Benefits • High frame rates • Good color reproduction

The useful image capture software ProgRes® CapturePro is included in the delivery of each ProgRes® camera free of charge. Whether for simple image documentation or demanding image analysis: with merely three mouse clicks you can optimize your images – thanks to the automatic functions included in ProgRes® CapturePro software. CapturePro supports the excellent quality of ProgRes® microscope cameras and delivers optimal image quality and reproducible results. Calibrations and image correction matrices, e.g. shadings, can be individually generated for your camera and are saved in your own user profile.Benefits • Included free of charge • Ease of use • Full support of Multicore-processors • Full WIN support for all cameras (even WIN 7, 32 and 64 Bit) • MAC support for FireWire cameras • Free software updates for registered users • Stand-alone software and TWAIN Plug-In • Optional software development kit (SDK). Features • Continuous automatic exposure control • Automatic white balance • Multi-focus (Z-Stacking) • Multi-fluorescence mode • Measurement capabilities • Image annotations • Time-lapse • Shading calibrations • Multi-camera operation • Individual user profiles

ProgRes® SpeedXT core 3, SpeedXT core 5Breakthrough in CCD-SpeedJenoptik's innovative SpeedXT core technology provides an improvement in live image speed of high-resolution CCD cameras. The user is enabled to facilitate precise focusing and very easy positioning of specimens without interlace effects – a clear advantage in the analysis of moving objects and for optimal task management in laboratories. Easy connection and data transfer is ensured by USB 2.0 interface. Brilliant images in proven Jenoptik CCD quality with superior color reproduction can be achieved immediately through an overall faster workflow. Benefits • Outstanding live image speed • Excellent image quality & high resolution • Perfect color reproduction
