ANALYTICAL AND LABORATORY EQUIPMENT 25
Self-contained scientific camera T
he new TrueChrome Metrics camera from Stemmer Imaging provides fully integrated digital image capture and measurement for micro and macro scientific and industrial imaging applications with no need for a PC. By plugging a mouse into the camera and connecting the HDMI camera output to a monitor, a wide range of multiform measurement tools allows measurements to be made on the high quality images produced. The camera can deliver measurements with a resolution of 10nm to provide outstanding metrology capabilities in the most demanding situations.
High quality images are generated by
the 2.3 MPixel Sony Exmor CMOS sensor, which delivers live colour images at 1080p 60fps to the connected monitor. This allows the user to smoothly manipulate live images without any monitor lag. Up to 6MP still images and Full HD video sequences can be recorded directly and replayed from a connected SD card along with measurements. An image compare mode also allows for side-by-side comparison of live and previously stored images. With exposure settings from 1ms to
up to 10 seconds and 20 levels of gain adjustment, the camera can be used for a host of applications including low light fluorescence imaging. An incredibly efficient 3D noise reduction system overcomes any increase in noise associated with longer exposure times to guarantee sharp images containing plenty of detail. Automatic optimisation of camera settings optimises image quality whatever the application. Exposure time, saturation
and automatic white balance produce high quality images with minimal need for manual adjustment whether for bright field bio imaging or dark field birefringent crystal imaging. Full manual control is available should it be needed. The powerful built-in measurement
functionality includes: freehand lines, rectangles, polygons, circles, bicircles, angles, point-line distance and more. In addition to the ability to measure point- line distance, angles, the length of curves and lines, the camera can measure the perimeter and area of enclosed features such as rectangles, polygons, and circles. The embedded user interface is
incredibly easy to use. There are only two icons on screen, one for image capture and the other for the settings menu. The measurement menu appears simply by right clicking anywhere on the live image.

echnidata has launched its next- generation laboratory information system, TDNexLabs. Developed in close collaboration with major field contributors, this new product has been designed to improve quality of care and laboratory performance. TDNexLabs draws on the company’s 40
years of experience in the field of pathology informatics and close collaboration with users from around the world. “Through our partnership with Technidata we have actively participated in the design of the solution and contributed to orienting its development to meet our everyday needs. This rewarding experience has allowed us to benefit from custom-made solutions, and for Technidata to develop and offer software that is fine-tuned to users’ needs,” explains Claire Daurel, pathologist at the University training hospital in Caen. With TDNexLabs as the flagship
product of the Livextens suite, Technidata offers a new system that fully meets the challenges faced by the medical pathology
sector: from the merging of technical platforms, escalating data volumes, business intelligence, to evolving medical and technological regulatory requirements.
The software facilitates laboratory management and decision-making: it offers users a real-time view of key indicators present on the interactive dashboard, along with advanced analytical and statistical tools regardless of the complexity of the organisation in which it is deployed. “The extended interoperability of
“To better manage the ever-increasing
data volumes that need processing, we appreciate being able to rely on such a reliable, powerful and scalable product as TDNexLabs,” explains Frédérique Grandhomme, pathologist at the University training hospital in Caen.
TDNexLabs, which is based on HL7 standards, facilitates its integration into existing systems and connection to automated laboratory workflows. This is essential for us. The single database and new tools simplify installation, maintenance and system backup, and optimise performance to guarantee operational continuity,” concludes Guillaume Bazin, IT engineer at the training hospital. TDNexLabs meets ISO 15189
requirements thanks to its audit system, document management and non- conformity management modules.
