Features
Pixera Viewfinder
The Pixera Viewfinder application provides complete, through-the-lens live (up to 15fps*) viewing capability with highly sophisticated controls for adjusting color balance (automatically or manually), various filters, and other image parameters on the live image. Interactive tools are also provided for flipping, cropping, and indicating how well the image is focused. Images may be captured at a variety of resolutions up to 2776x2074 (Penguin 600CL & Pro600ES) pixel high definition quality. Advanced imaging features include multiple frame averaging and integration operations. The Viewfinder application is optimized for scientific analysis applications such as brightfield and dark-field fluorescence microscopy. Advanced image processing algorithms also provide dynamic image processing operations resulting in maximum image capture quality.
* Maximum frame rate is system dependent.
Pixera Studio
The Pixera Studio application provides sophisticated image manipulation tools for images captured directly from Viewfinder. Still images may be zoomed, panned, cropped, printed, and drawn upon. Images may be sent directly through e-mail at the touch of a button. Capture settings can be saved and preloaded.
Windows
Pixera TWAIN Viewfinder
The TWAIN Viewfinder connects popular imaging or specialty analysis software packages directly to the Penguin- and Pro-Series cameras. Like the standard Viewfinder 3.0 application, the Pixera TWAIN Viewfinder module provides a complete, through-the-lens live viewing capability with highly sophisticated controls for adjusting color balance (automatically or manually), various filters, and other image parameters on the live image. Interactive tools are also provided for flipping, cropping, and indicating how well the image is focused. Images may be captured at a variety of resolutions up to 2776x2074 (Penguin 600CL & Pro 600ES models) pixel high definition quality. Advanced imaging features include multiple frame averaging and integration operations. The TWAIN Viewfinder 3.0 application is optimized for scientific analysis applications such as brightfield and dark-field fluorescence microscopy. Advanced image processing algorithms also provide dynamic image processing operations resulting in maximum image capture quality.
MacOS
Pixera Studio (Integrated Viewfinder)
The Pixera Studio application provides for sophisticated pre-adjustments capture settings for best imaging results. Images may be captured at a variety of resolutions up to 2776x2074 (Penguin 600CL & Pro 600ES) pixel high definition quality. Advanced imaging features include multiple frame averaging and integration operations. A variety of image filters are available for interactively specifying filter parameters using a preview dialog, and for adjusting color values using slider controls. Advanced image processing algorithms also provide dynamic image processing operations resulting in maximum image capture quality. Captured still images may be zoomed, panned, cropped, printed, and drawn upon. Images may be sent directly through e-mail at the touch of a button. Capture settings can be saved and preloaded.
Adobe Photoshop Plug-in
The Pixera Adobe Photoshop Plug-in allows capturing images using the Pixera Penguin camera directly into Adobe Photoshop and other applications supporting Photoshop plug-ins.
