Computers

• A 180 MHz Silicon Graphics O2 Workstation with powerful graphics capabilities used for capturing and editing live video, making movies (Quicktime, AVI, mpeg), and 3D modeling.



• A 250 MHz Silicon Graphics Indigo Workstation used predominantly as an image analysis workstation running the powerful Advanced Visual System (AVS) Express image analysis software.



• A180 Mhz  Pentium Pro Desktop Computer with 128 Mb of RAM, 5 Gb of harddisk space and a 21 inch Viewsonic P180 monitor for easy and accurate visualization and manipulation of images.



• A Pentium MMX 166 Mhz Desktop Computer with 32 Mb of RAM, 2 Gb of harddisk space. This computer has a video capture card used for viewing slides while working on the microscope.



• A Toshiba 430 CDT Laptop Computer with 16 Mb or RAM, 1.3 Gb harddisk and active matrix screen, used for presentations and as a mobile wordprocessor.



• A PowerMac 8600/200 Computer with 64 Mb of RAM, 2 Gb harddisk and video capture card, used for manipulating live video and for making Quicktime movies (including VR movies). This computer also runs the popular public domain NIH-Image analysis software.

These computers support several devices for image acquisition and manipulation

• A UMAX Powerlook 2000 flatbed scanner with 8000 element CCD and 1000 dpi optical resolution. Also has interchangeable top for scanning transparent/reflective images.



• A Polaroid PRINTSCAN 35 scanner for digitalizing slides and photographic negatives at high resolution up to 2700 dpi.



• A LEICA DM RBE microscope specifically designed for biological applications with a modular construction tailored to individual requirements. It has motorized focus, interchangeable condensers and tubes and is fully equipped for fluorescence microscopy.



• A LEAF Microlumina camera for high-quality colour digitalization of microscopic images from slides. High-powered scanning is achieved through the use of a tri-linear 2700 x 3400 pixels capturing CCD chip which captures images with exceptional quality in a single pass.



• An ORBIS 16 Spectrascope camera (version 3-09-4-0) for obtaining black and white low-light images, such as those obtained by fluorescence microscopy. Its sensor is capable of capturing 1500 x 1500 pixel resolution.



• A CANON EX2 HI video camcorder with 8X and 15X interchangeable zoom lenses for capturing video. It can be mounted on the microscope for obtaining single or multiple digital frames from microscope slides.  .



• A Nikon F50D 35mm camera for taking conventional pictures. It can also be mounted on the microscope for taking pictures of microscope slides.



• An OLYMPUS C800L digital camera for obtaining still digital images up to 1024 (width) X 768 (height) pixels.



• A QMS MAGICOLOUR CX colour laser printer for general purpose printing up to 1200 dpi.



• An Epson Stylus Photo colour printer for high quality printing on glossy paper.



• 100 Mb Zip and 1 Gb Jaz drives for portable storage of large data.
