The
PAXcam Difference
< Back
 PAXcam
is far superior to other cameras' painful methods of capturing
to Windows with coded filenames, capturing to memory
cards for future download, or capturing to a rudimentary
filing system. Designed for pathology, the PAXcam
captures directly into a case folder for reporting,
archiving, or presentation.
Is PAXcam
really different from other cameras with their multiple
pull down menus, or a multi-tabbed interface that leave
you guessing where to go next?
YES!!
Consider:
--
The PAXcam interface has the exact controls you
need for easily adjusting exposure, contrast,
and color all in one simple location.
--
The PAXcam interface has simplified controls for determining
exposure and color…including an automatic-exposure “find” button,
a “set” box so that exposure will automatically
adjust when objectives are changed, and easy-to-use
white balance controls.
--
The PAXcam interface is the only digital
camera for microscopy that lets you save directly to
the following:
- capture
directly to a PowerPoint presentation or a Word document….from
the camera
- capture
directly to an ftp protocol from the camera…for
online reporting
- capture
directly to an export routine interfaced to your
reporting software (note: dependent upon appropriate
controls being available in your A/P software)
- capture
directly to a case folder to archive according
to accession number, or according to other user-selected
means
- capture
directly to an outgoing email
What does it take from a day-to-day standpoint to
make this happen?
The
typical workflow
A)
Open the camera interface
B)
Capture the image—to any or all locations listed
above!
C)
Enter the accession number (manually, or by barcode
reader) and your image is in your archive, your report,
and/or your presentation… and
the camera is ready for the next image
If
initial adjustments need to be made to get a good image,
the workflow may be extended a couple of clicks with these
simple adjustments:
- Open the camera interface
- Find
the exposure by clicking on the ‘Find’ button
- Adjust
the color balance by clicking the ‘white balance’ button
- Adjust the contrast by clicking the contrast slider
- Capture the image
- Enter
the accession number -- Ready for the next image.
NOTE:
all adjustments for exposure, contrast, and color are
remembered for the next session, even if the camera or software
is turned off, so that you are ready to capture images for
your next session!
Networking
your practice with PAXcam and
the integrated PAX-it software:
Use
PAXcam for your gross or biopsies using our exclusive "PAXcam
Macro Stand". When the microscopic images are taken,
they automatically find the same case folder, based on accession
number!
The
PAX-it archive can be used to database images according to
tissue type, stain protocol, diagnosis, etc, to be useful as
search criteria later. Or simply file and retrieve from easy
to manage case folders, with image tagging, image annotations,
export functions, and the ability to take images directly to
reports, presentations, email, and more! |
