All electronic microscope functions as well as camera control, shutters, stage, and focus, are controlled using a home-built software.
Design-wise, there's a lot to appreciate about the body's simplicity: two dials for controlling shutter speed and aperture, a recording button and the shutter/power/flash switch trio, which I haven't seen with the X-U (the rugged version of this) or the pro-level SL.
Images were acquired using a 1.2 N.A. 63x water immersion or PlanApo 1.42 N.A. 60x oil-immersion objective and cooled CCD camera (Orca-ER, Hamamatsu) with computer controlled shutter (UNIBLITZ VMM-D1, Vincent Associates, Rochester, NY).
The trigger signals to the electrically controlled shutter were given by commercially available software (pClamp 9) through AD/DA.
Duration and timing of light stimulation was controlled by an electrically controlled shutter attached to the UV lamp box.
Wayne-Dalton is working on a wireless system that controls shutters via the Internet.
The intelligent glazed façade is capable of controlling the thermal, solar and mass transmittance by controlling shutters, blinds and openings.
In 1958 the Super Speed Graphic 45 was placed on the market as a state-of-the-art camera - a compact, all-metal device that featured electrically controlled shutters and a range-finder that could be used with a variety of lenses.
Pulse sources are therefore generally implemented by switching the anode voltage, or by means of mechanically controlled shutters, the latter only allowing for relatively course control over the pulse shape, on period, and mark-to-space ratio, and will inevitably create a trapezoidal pulse.
