AUTOMATIC PHOTOMICROGRAPHIC SYSTEM

PM10SP

The PM10SP — Outstanding Performance, Compact Design,

Simple Operation And The Best Cost-effectiveness in Its Class.

A full range of top level functions

•This latest model in the PM series is

designed to perform all the tasks required

for routine brightfield observation, both in

biology applications and general industrial

photography. Remarkably economical in

price, it offers a full range of highly

functional mechanisms which meet the

needs of today's most demanding

professional users.

•Among the PM10SP's select functions are

1% spot measurement, 3 zones of recipro-

city failure adjustment, Auto/Manual/Time

measurement modes and AE locking.

35mm operation features a MULTI.EXP.

mode to accommodate multi-exposure

photography.

Simple operation based on easy-to-

read LCD display

•The control box features a minimum of

buttons to ensure simple, straightforward

operation. Settings are clearly shown on

the LCD display and changed by simply

pushing the buttons. 35mm/large-format

camera selection is performed

automatically.

•Photography conditions are easy to

confirm even in the dark, thanks to the

clear graphical display of shutter speed,

measuring area, film number, camera

format, exposure compensation and

compensation for reciprocity failure.

Extend your capabilities with PM series

accessories

•Compatibility with large-format and

Polaroid camera operation as well as

35mm SLR. For 35mm film, DX code

sensing is automatic, to ensure correct ISO

setting every time. 35mm film

loading/winding/rewinding are all

automatic, to prevent setting and operating

errors.

•Extra editing convenience: data imprinting

units are available for 35mm and Polaroid

3 1/4✕4 1/4 cameras.

•Foot switch available for foot-operated

shutter release.

•A variety of adapters for different kinds of

microscopes and a wide range of

magnification photo eyepieces are also

available.

100% light Path.

1% spot measuring to accommodate

specimens for fluorescence

observation

•The PM10SP employs Olympus-

developed original IC measuring. Highly

precise exposure control is possible

through 30% average measuring (suitable

for brightfield observation) and 1% spot

measuring for both scattered specimens in

darkfield observation and observation of

bright fluorescence specimens.

•The 100% light path with built-in memory

allows 100% of the light to reach the film.

Accurate metering of 50% of the light

intensity allows 50% of the light to be

diverted to the viewer for easy framing,

even for dark specimens. The anti-vibration

shutter mechanism combined with direct

100% exposure capability (performed by

pushing the mirror aside with a cam)

ensures clear, sharp pictures even at high

shutter speeds.

Convenient palm-sized control box

saves desk space

The palm-sized control box saves desk

space, and enables setting adjustments to

be made without unnecessary hand

movements. The ability to confirm

operating conditions without looking up lets

the user work more efficiently.
