At Motic, we strive to ensure that our digital products are compatible with most operating systems. Of course, as time and technology progresses, certain imaging programs will utilize newer advances in operating systems, making our most up-to-date products not compatible with older operating systems such as Windows 98, ME and 2000 as well as Mac OS9.

With the launch of Microsoft Windows 7, we have tested our compatibility with our most up to date products. Some of our older products can have their firmware updated to work with 7 and Vista, for details on how, please click here (will launch a new Window).

Motic is proud to launch a new generation of precision optics and mechanics in an affordable and versatile package. The new BA series provides a revolutionary opportunity to bring high-quality microscopes into classrooms, labs, hospitals and wherever else performance matters.

The new BA210 and BA310 are both equipped with our brand-new CCIS EF-N Plan objectives delivering images that are as crisp, bright and full of contrast as is normally put out of reach of most budgets.

Packed full of features and future expansion opportunities, both the BA210 and BA310 reaffirm Motic's commitment to well engineering and optical excellence.

More Digital Microscopy installations with Networking functions have been delivered into the US continuing the rapid growth of these efficient and dependable solutions within North America.

New to join Motic's Networked family are:

Nevada State College's new state-of-the-art Liberal Arts and Sciences Building near Las Vegas and Touro College's Harlem Campus.

Motic's Digital Solutions are now mostly compatible with Microsoft Vista. However, due to a conflict between Microsoft Windows 2000 and Vista, we can no longer support or guarantee Windows 2000 compatibility.

Motic's Europe division has successfully installed its SMZ-168 zoom stereomicroscope with the Moticam 3000 and Motic Images Advanced 3.2 software package at Qinetiq's Fuel and Lubricants Centre in Farnborough, UK to much fanfare. Tim Nowell, senior scientist at the centre had the following to say about the Motic system.

"We chose this Motic zoom microscope as we felt it was an excellent package and fantastic value for money. We are very impressed by the quality of the Motic Microscope and we believe that the image analysis is very useful when examining and segmenting the different wear debris particles for our research" (Sourced from Laboratory Talk, www.laboratorytalk.com)

The Motic Z-14 combines the best of an optical stereomicroscope, 1:14 optical zoom, with the best of a video based system, auto focus, in one system. The overall focus of the Z-14 is able to be switched from default auto focus to manual focus for samples and applications with numerous heights via the system's hand remote. Magnification can be changed by the STEP (whole number change) or the FINE (continuous) zoom controls.

The system has a 1 lux sensitivity and the system's brightness can be adjusted in real-time through the hand remote. A back light effect is available to further smooth out the image. All information detected is able to be output via RCA, S-Video, and USB2.0 simultaneously.

Standard equipped with Motic Images Plus 2.0 ML software, the Z-14 is capable of calibrated manual measurement, cataloguing, image comparison, and documentation in a convenient package.

Video based and with a 172mm [0.5X standard objective] working distance, the Z-14 is ideal for applications ranging from video inspection to micro welding to jewellery repair to biological dissection to training. The Z-14 is capable of expansion with numerous stands, auxiliary magnification and illumination allowing further usage in various fields.

Motic has two software solutions available for Networked Digital Microscopy Classrooms for Educational and Professional needs. Having listened to Researchers, Professors and Students alike, DigiLab II and MoticNet both offer unique and innovative methods to link individual microscopy stations to a single Teacher or Supervisor station.

This supervisory station has full control not only of each individual student's computer, but also - more importantly - of each student's live microscopy image so that all aspects of image quality can be controlled from a single point ensuring that the students are looking at a properly set up image.

Our latest international editions include a first installation in Thailand at the Phra Mongkutklao Hospital which is part of the Royal Thai Army Medical Department.

This latest edition means that our Networked Classrooms are now being used from China to Canada, from Austria to Australia and from Tokyo to Thailand.

Motic has now completed the update program to its software and hardware enabling Motic products to work with Microsoft Vista. We are now phasing in these products into the market. However, we have also tried to make our existing range already in the market compatible with Vista as far as possible.

To find out more, please go to the Vista Update page in our Solutions Tab under Digital Microscopy.
