Tsview Software
Ultimate Digital Microscope Set (Model MFL-85) is the Ultimate Microscope packed with our Digital Eyepiece to create a new Digital Microscope, plus some accessories to make it even more useful! The microscope can be used with the Digital Eyepiece connected to a computer via the USB port (Windows® c. Aug 31, 2010 - In this post, I am comparing the quality of images taken by Tucsen microscope camera with TSView (6.2.2.3) and MICAM (1.4). Both image acquisition software are capable of using manual adjustment to tweak the settings to obtain optimal image quality but most users use autoamtic setting and there is.
The TsView software supports Hungarian language as well, and supports saving images in many different formats, while the AmCap can be used to record video. The package contains the camera, the software, the USB cable and the C-mount adaptor, also the detailed hungarian language instructions. The install CD.
The cracks of the ruby seems to come from the surface of the edge and the bottom Some Backgound about the rubies: The ruby is pink to blood-red colored gemstone, a variety of the mineral corundum (aluminium oxide). The red color is caused mainly by the presence of the element chromium.

The ruby is considered one of the four precious stones, together with the sapphire, the emerald, and the diamond. Rubies have a hardness of 9.0 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness. Among the natural gems only moissanite and diamond are harder, with diamond having a Mohs hardness of 10.0. This particular ruby is a. It came from northern Myanmar.
Some of the world’s finest sapphires, rubies and spinels have been found in the region. Related post. AxioVision 4.8.1 LE Main Screen and Preview Window The installation is very straight forward just like any othe windows applications (I first request a download link from Zeiss AxioVision website then run the executable from the downloaded file -about 230mb). The installation wizard took me through the installation process.
It took less than 10 minutes. To use the Zeiss AxioVision with your Tucsen microscope camera, you want to enable the DirectShow component from the Module Manager. To get to the the module manager, select Tools - Module Manager from the main menu. Enable the DirectShow from Module Mananger The interface of the AxioVision is very user friendly. The layout of the application stayed with windows application convention so it will give you a familar feeling with other application. There isn’t much hidden funtion which you can’t get to it in a couple mouse click. The main menu and toolbar is across the top.
The explore view on the left allow you to select different options (such as camera, image capturing and processing). After you click on the option, you can configure the options on the bottom. Click on the Live on the toolbar will allow you to see the preview window and click on the Snap will allow you to take a picture. In the live preview window, you can configure various image acquisition options. The best fit is my favorite option which allow you to stretch the colors to full dynamic range. The image is vibrant and have live in it. The histogram is very useful.
It will take away the guessing work out when you have to do manual adjustment of image acquisition. Paramecium taken by AxioVision with Best Fit at Normal Light Condition Some After Thoughts The images acquired by AxioVision is very colorful and very close to actual view (except a little too much brown/orange on the paramecium stained with yellow. The red and green color are both very truthful. It seems to be able to adjust the brightness. There isn’t much difference between low light and normal light condition.
The best fit is what makes it stand out compared to TSView and MICAM. This is the type of post-processing that I will consider to be added to the image captured by either TSView or MICAM. Now you can do it with AxioVision LE in one snapshot! The Axiovision comes with many configuration options beyond the simple image acquisition. It is the software that I will be highly recommend the Tuscen users to try it out. The only downside? There isn’t any video capturing option so you can only use it to take snapshot pictures.
Most microscope cameras use computer software to capture images from microscopes. The image acquisition software plays an important role in the quality of the images taken by the camera.
Through the image acquisition software, the microscopist can adjust various settings, such as color, contrast, exposure, to affect the quality of the images. Ideally, you want the software to be “what you see is what you get” but in reality the microscope camera software is far from perfect. The colors can off tune and sometimes over-expose while other times under exposed. I have been using TSView (comes with Tucsen microscope camera) for taking pictures since acquired the camera. Lately, I have fiddled with MICAM. The results are surprisingly good.
In this post, I am comparing the quality of images taken by Tucsen microscope camera with TSView (6.2.2.3) and MICAM (1.4). Both image acquisition software are capable of using manual adjustment to tweak the settings to obtain optimal image quality but most users use autoamtic setting and there is learning curve to become an expert in manual settings.
This post, I am comparing the photo quality aquired by both software with their automatic settings (i.e. Auto-exposure and auto-white balance).
The test was done on Tucsen 3.0MP CMOS camera was attached to the eyepiece socket of Nexcope CM701 microscope with the Tucsen 0.5x reduce lens. Three slides are used: A prepared slide of Paramecium which has stained red, yellow and green, a prepared slide of from epidermis for high contrast comparison and a home-made slide of onion epidermis slide stained with Methylene Blue. Before I take the photos, I move the mechanical stage to blank space, perform a white balance then snap a photo with TSView. The same procedure was done with MICAM. Low Light Condition. Onion Epidemis stained with methlyene blue at 400X - photo taken with Tucsen microscope camera using MICAM software Since the paramecium slide does not have any stained with blue, I am using the methylene blue stained onion epidermis. Both images seems to be able to product very real blue color like I observed through microscope.
TSView seems to have a little bit more contrast, however, some cytoplasm seems to be over-exposed. However, due to its high contrast, its seems to show a little bit more 3D feel. While the images acquired by MICAM are little bit better with the setting the correct exposure. Hight contrast Hight contrast seems to be the trouble condition which we might face. It’s very challenge for microscopists to take photos with good quality because the difficulty of setting right exposure and contrast.
I am picking this frog epidermis slide because the tissues are semi-transparent while some what space are completely transparent. This creates the hight contrast between different areas. MICAM Hight Contrast The images acquired by TSView (Top) is brighter and has higher contrast. The white area seems to be over exposed.
While MICAM produce very pleasant image by softening up the contrast. The images are a little bit darker than the what I see through the eyepiece.
It is also recommended that the maximum reinforcement depth be no more than half the slab thickness measured from the surface. This is implemented in the TxDOT specifications for pavements thicker than 13 in. Crsi rebar detailing manual. Placement of reinforcement in two layers has also been used.
Overall, both software product quality images under normal light condition. MICAM produces better pictures when dealing with trouble light conditions, such as low light and high contrast.
Note is currently in beta-testing phase. It should be interesting to compare Version 7 with MICAM.
Interesting topic show up on yohoo’s microscope discussion group about whether Tucsen microscope camera works with MICAM or not. My first attempt to use it failed.
MICAM prompt me “can’t connect to the device”. After googling around for Tucsen microscope camera, I noticed that Tucsen microscope camera support DirectShow and TWAIN.
I installed both plug-in. Directshow works but not TWAIN. The software work perfectly.
The white blance and auto exposure seems to work out better than TSView. I will explore more about MICAM.
