Entering the Era of 4K Microscopy

Presenting new opportunities for working on-screen alongside the oculars, 4K digital technology is revolutionizing microscopy cameras.

Since the emergence of digital microscopy for pathology, on-screen operation has presented a valuable way of working alongside the oculars. Presenting new opportunities for pathologists, 4K digital technology is revolutionizing microscopy cameras. While high resolution provides images both larger and more detailed than previously possible, 4K Microscopy cameras also implement additional technological advances for unprecedented image quality. Pathologists can now enjoy fast, comfortable and user-friendly on-screen operation – enhancing sample evaluation, facilitating effective collaborations and engaging the audience during presentations.

See the details, not the noise. 4K Microscopy with active noise reduction technology makes it possible to capture details that would otherwise be blurred by noise. (Olympus UC90 camera; Specimen: Human colon)

Enhanced on-screen sample analysis
While oculars undoubtedly provide the most life-like view of the sample, working over long time periods can be uncomfortable and slow, and on-screen visualization provides a complementary and comfortable alternative. In fact, 4K Microscopy has now advanced image quality to a standard where the information captured in a digital image rivals that seen through the oculars. Saving time by lessening the need to confirm observations with the oculars, pathologists are increasingly relying on both modes of visualization. 4K Microscopy technologies work in real-time to provide life-like color and cancel out image noise, revealing lifelike details. In addition, these same technologies facilitate daily operation, for quickly navigating across the sample, and enable pathologists to find the desired image focus on the first try. 
Effective communication
Sharing detailed and accurate information is vital for effective collaborations. This is facilitated by 4K Microscopy, which combines a higher resolution with a large field of view to display structures on-screen both in detail and in context. Further advancing the analysis of larger regions, 4K Microscopy speeds up digital image stitching, requiring far fewer single acquisitions to form detailed and informative panoramic images. Through these capabilities, the life-like images acquired with 4K Microscopy enables pathologists to communicate and display results in their best light during presentations or teaching sessions, engaging the whole audience. Complementing the use of multi-headed microscopes, a large group of scientists can easily view and discuss the sample with clarity and understanding, with simply a standard microscope fitted with a 4K camera and a large 4K screen.
A new way of working in pathology
With the latest 4K Microscopy cameras, such as the Olympus UC90, increased resolution and field of view is combined with cutting-edge digital capabilities for insightful analysis and clear communication. In the 4K microscopy era, images are truly coming to life for pathologists to explore their samples like never before.
