DMC 2 Camera Features
The Polaroid DMC 2 Digital Microscope Camera captures high-quality digital color
images from light microscopes and other optical instruments. The camera uses a 2-
million-pixel, 11mm CCD (charge coupled device) to capture 14-bit linear RGB
images. It transfers these images in seconds to an IBM PC or Power Macintosh com-
patible computer in TIFF format with 1600x1200 or 800x600 pixels. On IBM PC com-
patible systems, an additional image size of 400x300 is available.
