Easy to use Auto Exposure and White Balance creates spectacular images in one stroke of the computer key. The SPOT CCD chip has a resolution of 1315 x 1033 pixels or 1,358,395 total pixels.
Some pixels get red filters, others get green or blue color filters.
In many cases, this creates artifacts in the image that are especially noticeable when zooming in on the sample. Some digital cameras also interpolate pixels to achieve higher resolution values. The SPOT camera gives you confidence that the pixels in your image were measured, not interpolated. This provides brilliant low light level color images for applications such as fluorescence, polarized light, darkfield, and high magnification work. The software allows the user to decrease or increase the integration time up to a maximum 17 minutes per color.
