ZEISS | Axiocam 705 pol - Scientific 5 Megapixel Camera for Single-Shot Polarization Imaging

The Axiocam 705 pol is your scientific 5-megapixel camera with a polarization filter mask-enhanced sensor. A single image is sufficient to capture different polarization parameters such as the angle of polarization and the degree of polarization together with the image content. No special accessories such as an analyzer in your microscope are required. You simultaneously acquire polarization effects with one single exposure over the field of view, which speeds up your imaging as no analyzer needs to be adjusted.

Representation of the acquired image information with Axiocam 705 pol:

• Encoded Pseudo Color 4 Channel Image
• Channel 1 = Angle of Polarization
• Channel 2 = Degree of linear Polarization
• Channel 3 = Intensity
• Channel 4 = Color encoded information derived from above channels
• Method of color encoding in HSV color space (Hue = Angle of polarization, Saturation = Degree of linear Polarization, Value = Intensity, I = Intensity)
