Studio Capture is a video and image capturing software designed for use with microscopes and microscope hot stages. The software allows data to be written into the video stream and captured as video (avi) files or as still images. By controlling the frame capture rate "time lapse" video's can also be captured that allow slow occurring events to be reviewed at accelerated rates.

Studio Capture has recently been enhanced with 2 special modes of operation:

Sample Controlled Hot Stage Microscopy uses a special control system for the Mettler Toledo FP82 hot stage to adjust the heating rate as the sample undergo's transformations. The result is increased resolution of kinetic effects such as polymorphism and crytallisation.

V-temp allows the use of Studio Capture with instruments with no direct connection to the software. Based on the temperture program the sample temperature is calculated and overlayed onto the video files. This approach is especially useful with Photo-DSC measurements using Mettler Toledo's DSC1 system. Adding real video analysis greatly enhances the interpretation of DSC curves and thermal events.
