OLYMPUS DP21 Digital Camera

The DP21 is a 2 megapixel digital color camera with an ultra-fast, full-resolution live image preview of 15 frames per second. This easy-to-use, stand-alone digital camera was designed to output the full 2 megapixel image at a real-time rate of 15 frames per second directly to a 1600 x 1200 Ultra extended Graphics Array, UXGA, high-definition monitor (not included).



The DP21 digital camera is ideal for a broad range of clinical, diagnostic, and educational applications with its rapid, real-time live display, stunning color, and crisp detail. Pathologists, cytologists, hematologists, and microbiologists are sure to love the accurate color reproduction of their specimens. This is also a great camera for a wide range of end users who require a camera for documentation purposes including bright fluorescence.

Broadcasting images for consultation or training is simple with optional MicroSuite™ FIVE software and the Olympus NetCam. DP21 users can share images easily with colleagues or students in other locations. The primary user can manually or automatically adjust the camera parameters while remote users can view live images at 800 x 600 or 640 x 480 pixel resolution.
