frame grabber for use with Dage MTI CCD72 camera

[Peter Bradley]

Hi Folks,

I was wondering if anybody could give me some advice on finding a cheap
solution for hooking up a Dage MTI CCD72 camera to a 450MHz PowerPC G4 Mac
computer running ImageJ. I know that there are certain frame grabbers that
are supported by ImageJ, for example the scion FG-7, but this costs $795...I
was hoping that it could be possible to use a cheap video card (<$100) that
would be compatable with imageJ (or another free program).

The microscope will be used simply for taking single frames of fluorescently
labelled cells, resolution and quality is not a concern (within reason), as
long as I can get the image.

Thanks for your consideration!

Pete.

Have you tried to google an used Scion LG3 frame grabber?  It works fine with
the Dage CCD 72.

Good luck
