Standalone Digital Camera a Good Fit for Classroom Capable of being operated by either the stand-alone control unit or by PC, the two-megapixel CCD Olympus DP20 digital camera can interface directly with a monitor or projector, which is convenient when only small lab space is available or for teaching and presentations. Live, high-resolution (1,600 · 1,200 pixels) images can be displayed on a UXGA high-definition monitor at a real-time rate of 15 frames per second. Exceptional color reproducibility and fidelity make the system a good choice for education and consultation or for applications that require frequent documentation, including pathological examination as well as inspections of electronic parts and industrial materials. The ergonomic handset control’s on-screen menu and functional key layout can be used for quick image acquisition and measurement control. The focus indicator and the addition of panning 4· digital zoom function mean faster and more accurate focusing, even at lower magnifications. This, together with a calibrated scale bar and numerous measurement functions, enables flexibility in imaging protocol development.

integrated into many of ADMET’s new machine configurations and is also used for ADMET retrofits of hydraulic and electromechanical testing machines from virtually any supplier. It is useful for testing adhesives, biomaterials, cables, connectors, film, food, plastics, metals, rubber, springs, textiles, and a range of other materials and products. Capabilities of the eP Digital Controller include: •

• •

Calculate key test parameters such as peak load, peak stress, minimum load, average load, load at break, deflection at break, load at deflection, deflection at load, stiffness, energy, free height, offset yield, and more. Selectable high and low limits for each test parameter enable pass/fail indication at test completion. Save and recall six test methods for accurate and repeatable testing.

All test methods have one pre-test control segment that can be used as a pre-load function. Configure up to a two-segment test profile. User selectable log rates from 0.5 to 1,000 samples per second for performing both short- and longterm tests. Flexible single test, group test, and multi-plot reporting.
