Imagetech 3d Camera

[Hermalindo Lepicier]

TheImageTech 3D fx has a few very interesting features. First, it has very wide-angle lenses. One of the problems with half-frame cameras is that a smaller frame size means that the same size lens is narrower than with a full size 35mm frame. This makes framing more difficult and means that you can fit less in the picture. Good wide-angle lenses are difficult to design, so most half-frames made a compromise and ended up with lenses that were just a bit too telephoto. The ImageTech is a fairly modern half-frame using plastic aspherical lenses. 27mm is a very good focal length for half-frame cameras. The Nimslo had a 30mm (slightly longer) lens. Another interesting feature of the 3D fx is that it uses only three lenses. The Nimso used four which cut the number of pictures per roll in half (half-frame, remember?). The 3D fx uses three, so you only decrease the number of pictures per roll by 1/3. The 3D fx has a reasonably close focus of at least 1m, maybe even less. This is important because with such a small spacing between the lenses the 3D effect will only be noticeable with close objects. The Nimso had a close focusing distance of 2m. The ImageTech can be fooled into doing multiple exposures. It also has a built-in flash which means that you can use it indoors and out.

Thank you for your wonderfully written article! It is very informative ... also, i hope you could give me advice on printing...i have been trying to find a printer for these cameras you have mentioned that only takes 20 minutes or less to develop. I would really appreciate your help and assistance on this one. Many Thanks!

@abdukted1456: The frames are not naturally aligned well. I have to do some tricks to get things working properly. The main gist of it is that I us Ulead GIF animator to add a layer with a single bright dot on it, that I use to properly reposition all the frames.

I use photoshop since I am already in that prgram for scanning....I find something I want to be the "pivot point", and I use a layer for each frame, set semi-transparent so I can align the pivot point to match on each layer. Then animate right in Photoshop.

Seems to work OK. Glad to know I am not the only one with misaligned frames!

How hard is it to get this film processed? Do they give you the entire reel of film uncut? Do you have to tell them not to cut it? Where do you get your film processed?

I've come across one of these 3D cameras and not sure if I should buy it. I'm just worried I won't be able to get the film processed locally. My only options are Walmart, Walgreens, or CVS. I would really appreciate your advice Gimel.

It takes 35mm film and has a built-in flash that takes two AA batteries. The flash is turned on by means of a yellow button on the front panel, like most single-use cameras, and a note printed on the back cover recommends always using the flash.

I made my test photos on a walk with Kate and Batta in late winter 2016, and was mostly looking for subjects with a lot of separation between the foreground and background so the 3D effect would be visible.

Per the note on the camera, I used the flash for most of the test shots. I used ASA 400 color negative film and had it processed normally. I scanned the images and followed a really simple Instructables guide to make them into 3D animated GIFs.

Microscope Camera for Conferencing, Teaching, and Clinical Research: The DP28 digital microscope camera combines powerful features, precise color accuracy, and 4K resolution across a wide field of view to provide stunning images for conferencing, teaching, and clinical research. With smart features, the camera eases and accelerates your microscopy tasks while delivering high image quality.

The ORCA-Flash4.0 LT3 is an advanced scientific CMOS camera specifically designed for fluorescence imaging. Designed on the success of the original ORCA-Flash 4.0 introduced in 2011, this new model delivers exceptional performance for life science applications. It is suitable for both fundamental research and integration into diverse equipment types.It offers an impressive readout speed of 40 frames per second, surpassing the conventional ORCA-Flash4.0 LT+ which operates at 30 frames per second. This enhanced speed is particularly beneficial for applications requiring real-time measurements with high temporal resolution.

Introducing the new ORCA-Flash4.0 V3 by Hamamatsu; developed based on their expanded experience with the advanced imaging applications along with high-performance scientific cameras. This specific camera is an expert at handling applications varying from acquiring beautiful scientific images, to experimenting detection, quantification and speed.

The ORCA-Fusion BT camera is the pinnacle of scientific CMOS (sCMOS) performance. The specifications are without compromise: ultra-low readout noise, CCD-like uniformity, fast frame rates and back-thinned enabled high QE.

The ORCA-Fusion, built from the sensor up, balances the complex nuances of camera features to provide beautiful images and robust data at all lights levels, but especially in tough low-light conditions.

A high-sensitivity digital CMOS camera employing a 2.3 megapixel CMOS sensor comprises the ORCA-spark. Its global shutter meant to attain a high-speed readout of 65 frames/s thereby make it ideal for imaging fast-moving objects. The ORCA-spark promises to deliver readout noise levels as low was 6.6 electrons, further facilitates imaging with high S/N ratio while capturing images of dark objects.

The Retiga R1 has the technical features you need in a scientific camera to improve limits of detection and quantification. More importantly, the camera becomes an intuitive extension of your imaging system, smoothly delivering data from the super speed USB3.0 interface to your computer.

QImaging puts the right tool in your hands when the goal is fast, sensitive imaging and documentation in true plug-and-play fashion. The Retiga R6 provides a 6.0 MP platform that will fit more into your field of view. It is ideal for time lapse, tile-and-stitch or stereo microscopy.

Most digital cameras are fixed lens cameras with set focal lengths, which means less manual control, Whereas a regular camera utilizes a variety of lenses, allowing more options available for your shots, like customizable depth of field, adjusting shutter speed, or wide-angles.

To select the right camera for the specific application may include diverse field of applications: 1) HD cameras for direct/online display of images directly from microscopic stage for projection or teching purpose. 2) Entry-level CCD/CMOS based colour cameras for routine IHC stained pathological samples. 3) Sensitive cooled-monochrome CCD based cameras for fluorescence and live-cell imaging for both documentation as well as research purpose

We can maintain & clean our scientific camera by clean them with a Put a small amount of lens cleaning fluid or cleaning mixture on the tip of the lens paper. We recommend 70% ethanol because it can effectively and safely clean and disinfect the surface. Larger surfaces, such as a glass plate, may be too large to wipe using this technique.

These have come into wide use since 2003. X-ray line sensor cameras from ImageTech are now third generation devices.

Sharp, clear images can now be captured thanks to developing low-noise circuits for improving the signal-to-noise ratio. The devices can now operate just from a 24 volt DC supply in a move to make the devices more convenient for customers. Moreover, we can provide these cameras in specifications that are ideal for customer needs provided we know the inspection width, conveyor speed and resolution that the customer requires.

We can provide an x-ray line sensor camera having the ideal range to match the object for inspection.

Here is my understanding of fill flash using flash exposure: When adjusting the flash exposure, the shutter speed doesn't change. This ensures that objects out of flash range don't get bad exposure, while the subject in front gets the fill flash needed to light it up.

To me, this means that if I have flash off, and I get 1/200 shutter speed, I should be able to turn on the flash, set the flash exposure to -1.0 and still have 1/200 shutter speed. But that's not what my camera does. The shutter speed instead goes straight to HI or something very fast or unexpected, and I end up with very bad exposure.

"When adjusting the flash exposure, the shutter speed doesn't change." - yes, the flash can produce less or more energy to accomodate your requirement for flash compensation, without affecting any other shooting parameters determined from the ambient static light levels, or set by you.
