Themonochrome camera ships with the very sensitive 1/3 inch Sony CCD ICX445ALA sensor. With up to 30 images per second, the DMK 33G445 is a low cost, yet highly versatile imaging solution. The camera includes a C to CS mount adapter, making it compatible to C and CS mount lenses. Using the optional CS to M12 board lens adapter, the camera is also compatible to M12 board lenses.

Medicine models are shifting. Healthcare providers are moving toward precision medicine by providing the right treatment, at the right time, for the right patient. These tailored diagnoses and treatments rely on high-quality, reliable images as a basis for decision making. In molecular imaging, consistently running your scanners at peak efficiency depends on the strength and uniformity of your sources. Whether your focus is research or clinical use, we offer a broad portfolio of genuine sources. Manufactured in-house and rigorously tested before leaving the factory, our sources help ensure accurate system calibration.

Siemens Healthineers calibration sources are designed by the same research and development team responsible for developing our PET/CT and SPECT/CT scanners, which have a strong reputation for performance and reliability.

Siemens Healthineers helps you serve more patients and grow your business by providing the source you trust.

From manufacturing to distribution, we have vast experience in all aspects of the source business. Sources are designed at the same time as the scanner, and 100% of our sources are tested for uniformity.

Mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) is a surface analysis technique that produces chemical images and is commonly used for biological and biomedical research. Multimodal imaging combines multiple imaging modes in order to get a more comprehensive view of a sample. Multimodal MSI images are often acquired using multiple MSI instruments, which leads to issues regarding image registration and increases the chance of sample damage or degradation during sample transfer. These problems can be solved by using a single instrument that can image in multiple modes. In order to improve the efficiency of multimodal imaging and investigate complementary modes of MSI, we have modified a prototype Bruker timsTOF fleX by adding secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) and secondary electron (SE) imaging capabilities while preserving the ability to perform matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI). We show multimodal images collected on this instrument that required only trivial registration and were acquired without sample transfer between imaging trials. Furthermore, we characterize the performance of SIMS, SE, and MALDI imaging and compare the performance of the modified instrument to a commercial timsTOF fleX.

Imaging Source is one of the machine vision camera manufacturers in North America. They offer a wide selection of industrial cameras and accessories. Since FlexScan3D starts to support DirectShow API, Now it is possible to interact with Imaging Source Camera.

If you are not able to find the imaging source camera on FlexScan3D, You might not have the correct camera driver. Go to the Imaging Source Camera Download page and there will be drivers for the different types of cameras. Find the driver that fits your camera, restart your computer and try again.

Data Set Overview ================= This is a regeneration of the Voyager 2 images from Uranus, in multiple versions including decompressed raw, cleaned, calibrated and geometrically corrected forms. It has been derived from the earlier PDS data set VG2-U-ISS-2-EDR-V1.0, which appeared on volumes VG_0001, VG_0002, and VG_0003. The information covers Voyager 2 at Uranus (1985), including the planet, its satellites and rings. Pointing information is not included in this data set. The data set is organized chronologically for each Voyager encounter. Volumes VGISS_7201-7207 contain Voyager 2 images. For each Voyager image, the following files are included: RAW - The decompressed raw image. RESLOC - A table of reseau locations. GEOMA - A table of tiepoints describing the geometric correction of the image. CLEANED - The raw image with various spikes, blemishes and reseau markings removed. CALIB - The calibrated image, in which data numbers are directly proportional to reflectivity. GEOMED - The geometrically corrected version of the calibrated image. All images and binary tables are provided in VICAR format, as defined by JPL's Multimission Instrument Processing Laboratory (MIPL). A VICAR file begins with an ASCII header describing the structure of the file. ASCII text versions of the binary tables are also included. Processing Level Id : 2, 3, 4, 6 Software Flag : N Processing Start Time : 2011-12-01 Processing Stop Time : 2012-02-01 Overview of the Data Set from the Original DATASET.CAT -----------------------------------------------------This Voyager 2 Uranus data set is available on CD-ROM and magnetic tape. NASA's Voyager Project and the Planetary Data System (PDS) have created an archive of planetary digital images acquired by the twin Voyager spacecraft (Voyager 1 and Voyager 2). This Voyager data set encompasses Experiment Data Record (EDR) files from the Uranus encounter. The information covers Voyager 2 at Uranus including the planet, its satellites and rings. Important to note is the fact that while geometry information and calibration exists for all these data sets, they exist in the EDR data set, but both of which are available separately through the PDS-JPL Image Node. Neither does the data set include starfields, calibrations, Plasma Radio Astronomy (PRA) or Plasma Wave Spectrometer (PWS) image-formatted information. These too are available separately through the Imaging Node. This data set exists on magnetic tapes in EDR format (this format is explained in the 'Multimission Image Processing Laboratory (MIPL) Real-Time Processing Subsystem Software Design Document (1985)'), an internal JPL document available through JPL vellum files or by contacting the Imaging Node. The set of images on the magnetic tapes are raw; no processing has been performed other than organizing the original telemetry into raster-formatted files. In addition to the images, supplemental information exists on the CD-ROMs. This includes documentation about the organization and contents of the disk. Software source code is included to provide programmers with tools to process the image files. There are browse images, sub-sampled versions of the full-resolution images which allow users to rapidly view the archive collection with their interactive display. Finally, there are image index files containing information about the images stored in the archive. Detailed Target Clarification: There are two targets which may prove to be confusing for the unfamiliar user; PLAQUE and CAL LAMPS, both are used as calibration targets. PLAQUE is an image of a flat piece of metal illuminated by the sun. CAL LAMPS are lamps inside the camera used for illumination. The target DARK is a dark current image when the camera mode is BODARK and the exposure is zero. DARK SKY and SKY are shuttered images, non-zero exposure looking at dark sky. SCAT LIGHT images are used to measure how much light is scattered in a particular direction. Definition Clarification: Planetodetic latitude of a point on the planet surface is the angle between the surface normal and the equatorial plane. For a spherical body, the latitude is incidental to the planetocentric latitude. The p5 point is one of 6 static points on all images. It is the point located in the center of the image. The p1 point is located in the top left corner, p2 top right corner, p3 bottom left corner, p4 bottom right corner, p5 center, p6 center right edge. If the target is not on the p5 point then that point does not have latitude and longitude coordinates associated with it nor does the target have a p5 point. The spacecraft coordinate system is a coordinate system defined by the spacecraft structure. The antenna points along the +z axis, the booms are along the +y and -y axes, creating a unique coordinate system for each spacecraft. The Canopus coordinate system is the coordinate system defined by one axis pointing at Canopus, one pointing at the Sun and one pointing somewhere else. These systems are not used for describing images or points on images. Because our interest is in where the pixels lie, not relative to the spacecraft or stars but relative to the target's own system.
