System Specifications

System Components:

• Data Acquisition Unit – A microscope adapter that holds the optics, photosensors, and preamplifiers.
• Signal Processing Unit – A self-contained signal conditioning unit that digitizes the output from the photosensors and communicates through a serial cable with a desktop computer.
• Software Package – A custom program that both provides the user interface with the instrument and outputs the resultant velocities.

Specifications:

• Velocity Range – Approximately 0.5 to 20 mm/s.
• Frequency Response – Depends on computer speed, around 10 Hz on a Pentium.
• Sampling Frequency – Adjustable (2500, 5000, 10000, or 15000 Hz).
• Power Input – Standard 110V 60Hz (220V 50Hz power supply also available).
• Calibrated using reticle slide (not supplied).
• Software requires Windows 95, 98, or NT 4.0 or better with 800x600 resolution. Pentium or better processor recommended.
• DC light source required for intravital microscope.

Software Features:

• Software adjustable gain, sampling frequency, correlation set size, correlation sensitivity, display ranges, and much more.
• View input waveforms, cross-correlation output, and velocity graphs in real time.
• Export data as text or as a bitmapped graph or directly to a printer.
• Easy setup and configuration including an automatic port detector.
• Highly customizable measurement parameters.
• Easy and convenient Windows interface.
