Nervous Nick
Hey all. At the lab where I work we have a Nikon D50 camera attached
to a stereo microscope which we use for taking photos of human and
animal tissue. We have found it extremely difficult to focus and
compose through the microscope itself, so we would like to be able to
link the D50 to the adjacent computer for real-time viewing to
facilitate focusing and composition.
So I am pretty sure what we need is a video card to which we can
attach the RCA plugs from the camera. We need nothing fancy, as this
is going to be the sole use of the video card.
The computer is a Dell Precision 530 running XP Professional, with 1
gig of RAM and a Xeon 2.8 gig CPU, so I think this is more than enough
to support what I need, but I know very little about such hardware.
Any and all advice in this matter would be quite welcome.
Thanks very much!
