DxO Optics Pro V4.2 Reference Manual

DxO Optics Pro V4.2 Reference Manual

DxO Optics Pro’s precise, calibrated corrections are based on unique algorithms derived from actual measurements made on real camera bodies and lenses. Thousands of test measurements are made on each body and lens combination, with every permutation of shooting parameters.

This is why the whole DxO Optics Pro system operates using what are called ‘Correction Modules’, each unique and specific to a particular body / lens combination; for this reason, you need to make sure you have the right module(s) for the bodies and/or lenses you use. All this means that DxO Optics Pro produces extremely accurate actual corrections of measured phenomena, instead of just subjective (and often impossibly time-consuming) manual approximations.

In addition, this new version 4 of the software also includes a number of corrections that are not camera-specific, so you can make the most of other images too, and some adjustments, going beyond purely correction, that you can perform manually for creative effect.

A simple workflow
The way the DxO Optics Pro workflow is organized is perhaps worth explaining briefly. You start by creating a new ‘project’, which you can name and save, and into which you will assemble the pictures you wish to process at this time. You can then click on the “Process Now” button to start processing the images with DxO automatic presets. Alternatively, you can work on preview images to define your own corrections or adjustments. And it’s worth underlining that your original image files are left untouched, they are never altered in any way, deleted, or overwritten, so your precious originals are 100% safe at all times!

What makes DxO Optics Pro even more powerful and ergonomic, is that some or all of your chosen settings can be saved as one or more ‘presets’ that can be applied across a whole series of images — but still leaving you the possibility of making further manual adjustments too, of course! Even without the use of any manual settings at all, DxO Optics Pro can process your images fully automatically, for guaranteed improved results every time!

Eclair 16mm ACL Camera Manual

Low profile and portability not only gives the ECLAIR ACL camera an elegant appearance, but it is a practical feature which enables the cameraman to take pictures while in a very confined space. The ACL rests low on the shoulder; in fact wherever there is headroom there is space for him to operate his camera. Examples:- seated in a moving car next to or behind the driver; in a cockpit; in a bunker; up a tree; or in any confined space where a camera is called for. The ACL is unobtrusive.

Total weight is important where there is plenty of action and mobility is the key word. The ACL with its 60m (200 ft) magazine, fully loaded, weighs 3.6 kg (8 lbs). With all its ancillaries, this camera presents no problem when climbing any structure or following any action. The ACL is truly a professional camera.

A self-blimped quiet running camera permits candid shots and unselfconscious action. The moving parts in the ACL have been kept to a minimum; it’s wedge-shaped claw slides quietly into the film perforation; it’s plane shutter and oscillating mirror reduce the whir of rotating mirror shutters; the overall noise level is better than 32 dB at 1 m (3 ft).

A crystal controlled brushless motor has been specially designed for the ACL. Incorporated in this motor are some of the features developed for spaceflight - miniaturised control, high efficiency, freedom from static etc. It is based on The Hall Effect; runs silently, draws only 0.8 A from the small rechargeable battery. No hash is added to the radio microphone signals. The speed is accurately regulated to 24 or 25 frames per second by crystal control.

Snap-on magazines, made famous throughout their range of cameras, afford the film maker the advantages of a 3 second effective re-load time and the ability to change quickly to different film stocks by pre-loading magazines. The cameraman has the choice of 60m (200 ft) core loads, standard 30m (100 ft) or 60m (200 ft) daylight loading spools.

Inventory
1 Tucit - X comes with a plug-in infra-red lamp on a cable, a small piece of velcro, a 9 volt battery holder, a copy of this manual and 2 laminated menu summaries.
2 If your camera is to be controlled by an electrical switch you will need to acquire and attach an appropriate plug to Tucit’s blue lead.
The Name
1 TUCIT stands for The Ultimate Camera Interval Timer. Pronounce it like ‘bucket’ and the X like ‘ex’.

What Can Tucit - X Do?
1 Tucit - X is built for kite aerial photography (kap) and is also used in balloon aerial photography and various other applications.
2 Tucit provides you with 3 alternative ways to trigger your camera; infra-red ‘wireless’ controls or electrical contact switches or servos providing finger actions.
3 It provides control signals for model aeroplane servos to give you panning and tilting movements.
4 Tucit - X allows you to set virtually any interval between pictures and you can have countdown periods from 2 seconds upwards.
5 It can provide double wake-up signals for cameras which fall into sleep mode after long intervals. And, for example for film cameras, you can set a limit to the number of pictures taken each time.
6 A rig moves menu provides a number of movement options for camera rigs with either pan or pan and tilt servos. These include panning with occasional vertical lookdowns as well as three and four level panning.
7 There is a batch mode which lets you take pictures in groups - like panoramas with resting periods in between. And there’s a series mode which may help your camera to take bracketed exposures – i.e. a series of 3 pictures between every move. Alternatively it can hold down (delay) finger shutters to take burst or bracketed shots.
8 There is also a kap session menu so that you can achieve multiple objectives whilst your camera is in the air. Or just use it to stop pictures and tilt upwards for landing.

Bipolar/Monopolar Temperature Controller Model TC-202A User’s Manual

2010-05-09T21:18:00.000-07:00

Bipolar/Monopolar Temperature Controller Model TC-202A User’s Manual

The Bipolar/Monopolar Temperature Controller (Model TC-202A) is designed to be used with several micro-incubators supplied by Harvard Apparatus Inc.These models include the Open Perfusion Micro-Incubator (Model PDMI-2), Patch Slice Micro-Incubator (Model PSMI),Leiden Static Micro-Incubator (Model LU-CB1) Leiden Closed Perfusion Micro-Incubator (Model LU-CPC-CEH) and Brain/Tissue Slice System (Model BSC-BU).

A micro-incubation system from Harvard Apparatus consists of the Temperature Controller (TC-202A),a micro-incubator (one of the above) of choice,a 35 mm plastic Petri dish or reusable cover slip dish (LU-CSD, MSC-TD or MSC-PTD) and an associated pumping system.Such a system allows complete environmental conditioning along with excellent micro-mechanical access for electrodes or micropipettes, all with optimum optical access.

A proportional temperature controller is basically a source of electric current whose magnitude is determined by comparing a desired target temperature with its current value. The TC-202A’s output is proportional to the difference in temperature between the desired and the current value. This type of system avoids the electrical noise of suddenly turning current on and off, unlike less expensive controllers. When using the TC-202A in the Biphasic mode, the current will spontaneously reverse direction when the current temperature is too high; in short,it can also cool when used with Peltier elements.(PDMI-2/PSMI)

FinishLynx Total Race Management Macintosh Version Owner’s Manual

This manual is provided first and foremost to help you set up, install, and run FinishLynx so that it will become as familiar and easy to use as your computer. However, in no time at all you will become an expert FinishLynx operator, and we at Lynx System Developers, Inc. bet that you will be intrigued to learn what goes on “behind the screen” to make this exciting new technology work. Therefore we hope that the following pages will not only help you operate FinishLynx to its fullest capacity, making your job of producing accurate race results easier and faster than you ever thought possible; but we hope that they will also help to satisfy your curiosity about some of the concepts and theory behind digital imaging for fully automatic timing. Keep in mind that there is a lot of information in the following pages: we hope that you return to this reference manual again and again, rather than trying to absorb everything in one sitting.

A FinishLynx system always has a minimum of three pieces of equipment which are linked together: a digital camera, a FinishLynx timing unit, and a computer. FinishLynx cameras were specifically designed for this application. They scan and store images of a very important–and very narrow–piece of real-estate: the finish line. These single-pixel wide slices of image are assembled and temporarily stored by the FinishLynx precision timing unit before they are passed to the computer for analysis. FinishLynx allows you to display an image of the finish line of any type of race on your computer monitor and calculate race results in as little as 15 seconds. The picture is similar to that of a roll film camera, although instead of being printed on film, the image is digitized inside the camera and fed directly into your computer. The times of the finishers can be printed or immediately integrated with meet management software such as Track-on-a-Mac, Apple Raceberry Jam, or Meet Manager to make compiling meet results almost effortless. Pictures and results can be easily stored on your hard disk for later retrieval. Of course, FinishLynx meets all the requirements of a Fully Automatic Timer (F.A.T.) for the IAAF, NCAA, and USATF as well as many other national and international athletic organizations.

PriorLux - PriorLab Manual W2968 Issue B

The PriorLab and PriorLux upright compound microscopes are high quality instruments equipped with high resolution, chromatically corrected optics for excellent image quality. The robust construction and hard wearing materials ensure long lasting and trouble free operation. The instrument can be used with a number of accessories allowing brightfield, dark ground, phase contrast and polarising contrast observations. For documentation, both instruments are available with a trinocular head which permits mounting of a video or digital camera system.

The PriorLab / PriorLux is shipped in protective bags within a pre-formed container. Each component should be carefully unpacked and checked, cutting rather than tearing the plastic bags. The head (binocular or trinocular) should be fitted to the dovetail on top of the stand and locked in place with the head locking screw. The eyepieces then just drop into the eyepiece tubes at the front of the head, these should be pushed in as far as they will go. Remove each objective lens from its protective “pot” and screw into the free positions on the nosepiece. Move the stage and the condenser carrier to the highest position and insert the condenser from underneath with the diaphragm control facing to the front. This is locked in position with the clamping screw, which is fitted from the side.

Setting the correct length of your platform leg.
It is absolutely essential that you ensure the legs are all the same height. Any differences in leg length will reduce the smoothness of the stage motion and damage the bearings.
A digital vernier caliper has been provided to make this process easy.
It is important to ensure that the platform height is set to correct focal point of your microscope.
(This information should be supplied by your microscope Manufacturer – Olympus, Zeiss, Leica, Nikon). Once you have decided on the correct height, use the digital calipers to ensue that all four of the MTP legs are the same height. This can be checked by measuring the gap between the top of the locking ring to underside of the top of leg.

ZenithStar 80 Instruction Manual

ZenithStar 80 Instruction Manual

This simple step-by-step instruction manual is designed to provide you with a better understanding of how to use your new telescope. It will also guide you through how to maintain the ZenithStar 80 and operate it at its utmost capabilities. Please carefully familiarize yourself with your telescope parts and its functions before operation.

During daytime usage and night time observation, depending on your range of application, you have many choices for precision eyepieces with different magnifications.

Your new ZenithStar 80 is exceptionally suitable for nebulae, clusters, large galaxies and comets: we therefore suggest you use low power, wide-angle eyepieces for best results. Viewing the moon and planets at up to 120x (power) is quite impressive too at stable seeing. You can easily locate an object in its surrounding with lower magnification, and then gradually zoom-in with higher power eyepieces for maximum close-up and vivid details.

The largest field of view is covered by 12x low power wide-angle eyepieces. Do not exceed the suggested maximum magnification of 120x as the seeing might deteriorate so that nothing is gained in terms of perceiving more and better details. To calculate the magnification of your telescope, divide the telescope focal length in mm (480) by the eyepiece focal length. For example, a 25 mm focal length eyepiece will produce 480/25 = 19x.

Be sure to operate with a stable tripod. Other options include German equatorial mounts, which are used by most amateur astronomers for precise tracking stability. Optional WO mounting rings and plates, and 2″ diagonal mirror or erecting prism are highly recommended for high-quality images. Though this telescope is not specifically designed for astrophotography it can yield very good results when used together with the necessary equipment. Please refer to our Accessories Chart on page 03 for more details on the photo equipment you need.

JTS-Rotator SPH Manual

2010-05-09T21:04:00.000-07:00

JTS-Rotator SPH Manual

JTS-Rotator SPH, produced by Esaypano, is designed for professional shooting of high quality image, including rotator and bracket. JTS-Rotator allows photographer to take sequential constant-angle shots around a single axis with the nodal point of camera and lens in line with the center of panoramic rotation. JTS-Rotator has several advantages in taking pictures:
Supports top and bottom images shooting;
Supports adjusting vertically and horizontally, fore-and-aft adjusting as well; Easy to carry about, with total weight of less than 1.5kg; Wear well again abrasion, made of alloyed material together with strong screws and accurate calibration; Not necessary to repeat calibration setup after you have made correct alignment of optical axis and nodal point

Structure of Rotator
Three jamming screws allow photographer to fix and rotate the rotator more easily with one for locking completely and other two for horizontal every 45 and 60 degree rotating respectively. A slight “click” will help photographer to know how many degree you have rotated without the need to look at the calibration while taking photos from different angles horizontally.

For example, if you don’t need to shoot image from different angles horizontally, please fix the screw “LOCK” only with other two loosening; if you want to get full circular or full frame image, you may need to tighten 60-degree jamming screw and loose the other two, one “click” saying 60 degree while two for 120 degree and three 180 degree; if you want to shoot drum image, 45-degree jamming screw will help you in the same way as 60-degree jamming screw.

The screw on the top of the rotator is used to fix the bracket, which is an indispensable part of JTS-Rotator SPH, and which is a critical part in shooting image successfully.

Stacking ExpoCap With Other Filters
The ExpoCap can be installed and used as intended over other camera filters, such as Skylight or Polarizing filters. Note that any color characteristics introduced by filters stacked with the ExpoCap during the custom white balance procedure will be neutralized in the process. If color correction from a filter is desired, then the custom white balance must be taken without the desired filter in place.

Proper Exposure
It is essential to obtain a proper exposure while setting a custom WB. Failure to do so may result in the inability to set a correct balance. The most convenient way to obtain a proper exposure through the ExpoCap is to use an automatic exposure (AE) setting such as the “P” “S” or “A” modes.

How to Set a Custom WB Using ExpoCap
Install the ExpoCap on the end of the lens. Set your camera to an AE mode, set your focus to manual (your camera may not respond in auto focus with the disc installed), then press the shutter release button. Select or save this setting or the resulting image as the reference for your custom white balance. You must set a different custom white balance for each change in lighting.

Where to Aim the Camera
The best results are obtained by standing near, or in similar lighting as your subject and pointing the camera back towards the position from which you will take the picture. In other words, the same color of light falling on your subject must also strike the front surface of the ExpoDisc. See the following examples for tips in some common lighting conditions.
Artificial Light
1. Single Light Source. Aim the camera towards the light source.
2. Dual Light Source. Aim the camera midway between the lights

Multi-Sensor Core Logger Manual

This introduction presents an overview of the capabilities and features of the Multi-Sensor Core Logger (MSCL). Itdescribes the major features of the logging systems and outlines variations that occur between different generations of logging systems. The organisation and use of this manual are described, notational conventions safety symbols and abbreviations are explained.

The Multi-Sensor Core Logger (MSCL)
The Geotek Multi-Sensor Core logger has been built for a range of users since 1989. During that time the logging system has inevitably evolved with significant improvements being made to the simplicity of the mechanical arrangements, the effectiveness of the sensors and in particular with the sophistication of the software. Consequently there are a number of slightly different systems in use. Despite this natural evolution Geotek has been conscious of the need to update older systems so that important new features can be incorporated. This is particularly true with the software, which has been designed to function on all systems with only minor modifications to the electronics and hardware. If you find features described in this manual that do not seem to apply to your system then contact Geotek directly for an assessment of the upgrade potential.

Types of Logging Systems
Single Section - Whole Cores - Core Boat
Early versions of the logger moved the core sections through the sensor systems using a core boat in which each whole core section was placed. Each core section was logged individually. Data files were subsequently manually concatenated by the user within a spreadsheet.

Single Section - Whole Cores - Core Pusher - Long Belt
Later versions of the logger did not have a core boat. They moved individual whole core sections through the sensor systems by using a core pusher to push individual core sections (lying on plastic rails) through the system. This was achieved using a long belt that went around the complete length of the track, through the sensor systems and was attached to the core pusher.

Multiple Sections - Whole Cores - Core Pusher - Short Belt
Recent versions of the logger have maintained the core pusher principle but have a short belt which allows the pusher only to move along the right hand section. Cores are passed through the complete sensor array by butting adjacent cores together. In this way a continuous core logging process is achieved with continuous data sets for a complete core.

Multiple Sections - Split Cores - Core Pusher - Short Belt or Ball-screw
The most versatile logging system is now the split core logging system that is floor mounted and measures p-wave Velocity and Gamma Density either horizontally through whole cores or vertically through whole or split cores. It features a moving vertical slide onto which is mounted the upper p-wave transducer (either the older type that required water coupling or the new Acoustic Rolling Contact (ARC) type). This automated vertical slide enables the measurements to be performed on horizontally split cores as well as whole rounds. With this system there is a large degree of flexibility that enables other sensor systems to be attached.

Multiple Wavelength Multiviewer Operation Manual

Multiple Wavelength Multiviewer Operation Manual

The Multiviewer is a complete system for multispectral imaging. It allows two images to be collected simultaneously using Princeton Instruments CCD or ICCD cameras. It features high throughput dichroic optics and UV wavelength operation as an option. Princeton Instruments multiple wavelength Multiviewer system offers the following features:
• One image projected in dual wavelengths simultaneously on a single CCD or ICCD
• No filter wheel delays and no shot-to-shot variation
• No parallax. All images are taken from the same perspective
• UV operation to 200 nm (optional)
• High throughput dichroic optics
• Low stray light

Performance Considerations
The Multiviewer design allows an image to be acquired at two different wavelengths simultaneously. With a gated intensified camera, both images can be acquired in as little as 5 nanoseconds. This means that even transient events can now be recorded at multiple wavelengths. This eliminates problems of shot-to-shot variability that occur when recording a transient event at multiple wavelengths by recording successive occurrences. With a Multiviewer, the complete multispectral image is acquired in a single shot.

Even for slowly moving subjects, simultaneous imaging provides an advantage. While the morphology of a subject may not change very quickly, the intensity at an individual pixel can change abruptly due to slow movement of a sharp edge across the pixel. Ratio images created from successive frames taken at different wavelengths often contain artifacts due to this effect. Simultaneous dual-wavelength imaging eliminates this ambiguity.

Whether a system is designed for operation on transient or slowly changing subjects, the elimination of moving filter systems improves overall system reliability. Since the Multiviewer has no moving parts, the reliability is much higher. The passive design also requires no computer control and has no power requirements.

Red One Camera: Operation Guide Firmware Build 17, Version 3.4.1

Camera Assembly
Connect the power cable from the Battery Plate, RED-CHARGER or AC Power Adaptor to the DC input on the rear of the camera body.

The RED-LCD and RED–EVF viewfinder may be mounted to the camera body using a short or extended length RED ARM. Attach the RED ARM to the camera body using the shorter threaded screw. There are attachment points on the camera body and on the RED RAIL TOP BRACKET. Then attach the end of the arm with the circular locking ring to the RED-LCD or RED-EVF. Finally connect the cable from the camera body to the RED-LCD or RED-EVF. Carefully align the red dots on the socket and plug, and push firmly to establish contact.

Attaching the RED-LCD or RED-EVF
The RED-LCD and RED-EVF cables are interchangeable; but the outputs are not. The RED-EVF should be connected to the upper output; a RED-LCD should be connected to the lower output. If using RED-DRIVE, place it into the RED-CRADLE and secure it with the four thumbscrews.

Then connect the RED e-SATA cable to the RED-DRIVE™ and to the e-SATA input on the rear of the camera body. (In normal operation use the right angle connector to mate to the RED-DRIVE, and the straight connector to mate to the camera)

Remove the lens cap and mount the PL lens you wish to use. The lens will have four metal tabs with cutouts for the registration pin in the mount. If using S4/i compatible lenses the data pins should be oriented to 12 o’clock when mounting the lens in order to establish communication. Attach matte box and motors, and any auxiliary power cables required to power these items.
