DP71
Launched in 2006, the DP71 digital microscope camera featured a CCD cooling mechanism that reduced image noise. The DP71 vividly captured dim fluorescent light and produced high-resolution fluorescent images. The CCD included 1.41 effective megapixels but was capable of resolution equivalent to 12.5-megapixels with piezo shift technology. A spot measuring method was used for light measuring, with the camera capable of switching between 30%, 1%, and 0.1% average fixed spots.
Microphotography that was difficult with 35 mm film cameras has become much easier with digital camera technology. This has led to a generational shift in terms of both picture quality and ease of use.
