1. INTRODUCTION
The C2400 is a compact, 2-piece, high performance video camera system
designed specifically for microscopy and quantitative electronic imaging. The
system utilizes the very latest technology to achieve exceptionally high quality
images ideally suited for both analog and digital processing. The system is
composed of a lightweight camera head and separate camera control unit.
All system functions are conveniently controlled from the front panel of the
control unit.
Standard features include a contrast enhancement circuit allowing for the
visualization of detail undetectable visually or photographically, crystal os-
cillation timing control, input indicator LED's, multiple video outputs and
protection circuitry.
Optional features include a shading corrector circuit, a variable gamma cor-
rector, video polarity inverter, external synchronization and non-composite
video output. All options are contained on single PC board modules allowing
for upgradability and ease of installation. The camera head may be specified
with any of 10 different imaging tubes to ideally match the system with the
application at hand. Moreover, the camera control unit has been designed
to support any of the camera heads, thereby allowing for various heads to
be used with a single control unit.
