Binning

In binning mode, the camera's sensor combines neighboring pixels into pixel blocks.

This results in a higher sensitivity and a shorter processing time, but also in a lower

resolution. Double binning (2x) reduces the number of pixels to a quarter, while

quadruple binning (4x) reduces the number of pixels to a sixteenth.

CMOS

CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) is a semiconductor compo-

nent that can be used for circuits and also as a photo sensor. Using the CMOS tech-

nique, each pixel can be separately read out and amplified. The CMOS technique is

characterized by its low power consumption and requires very little space.

C-Mount

The C-mount is a standardized thread for connecting cameras. With this screw

thread, the light microscope camera can be firmly attached to all common micro-

scopes.

DVD

The Digital Versatile Disc is a digital storage medium, similar to a CD (Compact

Disc), but possessing a much higher storage capacity.

Device Manager

The Device Manager is a part of the computer's control panel, in which the

connected devices and their drivers are managed. All the available USB interfaces

and also the connected cameras are listed here.

Hardware

The computer itself and all physical components that are connected to it, for

example the monitor, cables and printers, are hardware. Thus, a hardware defect is

a physical problem, for example, a defective device or a defective plug or socket.

ICC-Profile technology

The International Color Consortium's profile technology provides an optimal color

matching between different acquisition and output devices. The camera's CMOS

sensor sees colors in a different way than people do. And monitors reproduce colors

differently once again. To achieve a consistent color reproduction that is optimized

for human sight, a conversion is essential. The ICC profile technology guarantees

an optimal color correction and reproduction of the acquired images.
