Evolution of Scientific Digital Imaging Technologies and their Applications

As important as an optical microscope system is to provide images with high resolution and contrast, digitizing the image seen through the eyepiece is equally important. This dramatically increases your ability to enhance features, extract information, and tell a meaningful story.

We have come a long way with respect to image capture, from photomicrography on a film to highly sensitive digital imaging that allows you to detect even single molecules. Digital imaging has allowed scientists to not only record their data, but also analyze it using new software technologies with artificial intelligence.

Digital cameras designed for life science have evolved considerably, and numerous technologies are available. From CCDs, to EMCCDs, to sCMOS, each technology has pros and cons and must be carefully chosen based on the application.

In this talk, Dr. Lin covers some critical facts about scientific digital cameras. He also discusses the evolution of these cameras, the solutions that Olympus offers, and how they are used in current advanced microscopy systems for various applications.

Presenter: Guo Lin, PhD
Manager, Product & Application, Olympus Signapore

Dr. Lin got his PhD back in 2010 in National University of Singapore working on biophysical research. From 2009 he joined Olympus as Technical and Application specialist taking care of laser based high end imaging system. In 2012, Lin decided to move back to China and taking a position with one of the leading scientific camera manufacturers Photometrics. There, he started as application specialist, later become regional sales manager and finally scientific sales manager for Asia Pacific. In 2021, Lin moved back to Singapore, joining Olympus Singapore as the manager for product and application. Lin has a long experience of various techniques on scientific digital imaging including various camera technologies.

현미경 디지털 카메라

EM-CCD 카메라

전자 증폭 CCD 카메라는 잡음 증가 없이 광학 신호를 증폭합니다. 전자 증폭 CCD 카메라는 희미한 샘플의 고속 이미지를 확보할 수 있으며 여기 광 강도가 감소된 형광 생세포 이미징에 적합합니다. 카메라는 세포 내 단백질 상호 작용 관찰 및 실시간 이미징에 사용됩니다.

  • 매우 낮은 저조도의 빛을 감지하는 CCD 기술
  • 초고감도 과학 카메라 기반 전용
  • 수량화 및 재현 가능한 이미징
현미경 디지털 카메라

sCMOS 카메라

과학 연구용 CMOS(sCMOS) 카메라는 생세포 이미징에 최적화되어 있으며 기존 CMOS 기기에 비해 잡음이 적고 양자 효율은 향상되었습니다. sCMOS 카메라의 기능에는 고속 반응, 폭넓은 다이내믹 레인지, 확장된 시야, 고해상도 및 계조가 포함됩니다. 

  • 고속의 매우 빠른 입출력
  • 고해상도가 필요한 응용 분야를 위해 설계
  • 생세포 이미지 응용 분야를 위한 높은 신호 대 잡음 비 이미지
