Hi all,
sorry for the delay:I was too tired last night..!
This prototype come from the New Business Development department it's called
"super-high-definition camera and the main applications are medical imaging
and studio photography.
The pictures I've seen look like those produced by large format cameras as
Sinar or Leaf...
It's composed of a camera head a quasi-square 13x12x14 cm),1.4 kg (without
the lens) black box with a 4" LCD viewer on the top it's connected to a pci
bus video capture card (a power unit is connected to the card 85~240 V AC
50/60 Hz) and function under Windows NT 4 or Mac OS operating system.
The image sensor is a L4C8106 (7.5 micro meter square pixel CMD image
sensor) the men with which I talk (M.Stephen is my memory is good) said me
that this component is NOT made by Olympus. The imaging scheme is a
three-plate scheme with dichroic prism and each color channel (RGB) have
2,048x2,048 effective pixels > three 4.2 million pixel !
The shutter speed are from (1/125~1sec) with a shooting interval of 2.5sec.
The camera sensitivity is 50 ISO with a Signal / Noise >57 dB( under Olympus
measurement conditions, I've no more details about those conditions) there
is a possibility of a synchronous flash and the output data is 8 or 16 bits
selectable.
Last but not least the lens is a Exclusive SHD (on the leaflet I have it's
written lenses...) there is also a microscope adapter for Olympus
microscope.
The lens showed was a 45mm f/2.8 M.Stephen (?) said me he give a "normal
lens" angle so it must be not too far of the lenses for the 24x36... On this
subject Minolta will introduce next year a Reflex Dimage 3000 on the base of
the APS with the lenses of the APS and a 2.7 mega pixel image.
So, here the state of my information about the high-quality research we'll
see in the future.
It's a specialized tool for the moment like the first Digital backs...
Hope you've found some interest...
regards
marc
