Photodyne Technologies has been in business for 22 years; our systems are now available with low voltage D.C operation which further promotes safety. Our units are supplied with top of the line digital cameras, ranging in resolution from 10 to 15 megapixels and higher. The system also comes with proprietary software, and the unit connects directly to the user’s computer. The scene is viewable on the computer screen in real time, which allows the user to change it before taking the shot. Once the picture is snapped the data are transferred to the hard drive through a USB port and stored in the user's specified location; the picture is then ready to be used in presentation, archiving, email attachments, research, lectures and more.

At the bottom is a picture of our top of the line model, with an integrated flat screen, keyboard and mouse drawer, and space for the computer below the main unit; the unit is movable on four wheels like a "coffee-cart". At the right is a shot of our production line in our Los Angeles location.
Our company also provides an upgrade on our older models; the upgrade includes machining of new parts, anodizing and painting, additional hardware, overhaul of the column mechanism and motor, a new digital camera and proprietary software (to be installed on your PC), electrical re-wiring of the entire unit, and more. Both new and upgraded units come with a full 1 year warranty, parts and labour. Please contact the factory for more details.

Our systems are used mainly in medical and pathology labs, occasionally we get a request from other disciplines in science or commerce, such as metallography, gemology, forensics, geology or general research. The lighting that we use is professional photo-lab quality warm white light that is generated by either a halogen lamp, or LEDs, or special warm white fluorescent source. We also specialize in custom design. Our units are supplied with a special blue background top that is interchangeable with the white top. Using this blue layover enhances the picture and provides excellent contrast; Our proprietary software controlls all the normal attributes of the camera.
