Optional Components

Application Software

WinX: The ProEM+ camera can be operated by using either WinView/32 or
WinSpec/32, Princeton Instrument's 32-bit Windows
specifically for high-end imaging and spectroscopy, respectively. The Princeton
Instruments' software provides comprehensive image/spectral capture and display
functions. The package also facilitates snap-ins to permit advanced operation. Using
the optional built-in macro record function, you can also create and edit your own
macros to automate a variety of operations. WinView and WinSpec take full
advantage of the versatility of the ProEM+ camera and even enhance it by making
integration of the detection system into larger experiments or instruments an easy,
straightforward endeavor.

acquire data from the camera when a custom application is being written. For

acquisition, not for image processing. PVCAM places acquired images into a buffer,
where they can then be manipulated using either custom written code or by
extensions to other commercially available image processing packages.
LightField
64-bit Windows Vista
combines complete control over Princeton Instruments' cameras and spectrographs
with easy-to-use tools for experimental setup, data acquisition and post-processing.
LightField makes data integrity priority #1 via automatic saving to disk, time
stamping and retention of both raw and corrected data with full experimental details
saved in each file. LightField works seamlessly in multi-user facilities, remembering
each user's hardware and software configurations and tailoring options and features
accordingly. The optional, patent-pending IntelliCal™ package is the highest-
