HoloSea S7 2 INTRODUCTION
– For fast hologram reconstructions, 4Deep software requires a CUDA-enabled NVIDIA
graphics card to be installed in the computer
– For the list of CUDA-enabled graphics chips, refer to https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-
gpus
• Gigabit Ethernet port (for data connection)
• 1 USB port for the HASP key -Full versions of the software require a valid HASP key (dongle)
to run
– Demo versions can be used without a HASP key
• Windows 7 or 10, 64-bit
– Windows 10 Pro is preferred over other versions (such as Home)
2.3 Components of the System
Be careful when unpacking the contents of the package. As the 4Deep microscope
images at the micron level, foreign objects (dust, dirt, fingerprints, smudges, perspiration, saliva
etc.) on the camera window and/or the point source can greatly affect the quality of the captured
holograms. Take care not to touch the sapphire panes encasing the camera and the point source.
For further Care and Cleaning information, see Section 4.
The following is the list of parts of the HoloSea.
• HoloSea, pre-assembled. For full details, see the microscope description in Section 2.5.
– There are two purge valves on the bottom of the microscope, as shown in the right panel
of Figure 1
– DO NOT REMOVE THE PURGE VALVES. Using the purge valve without
the advice of 4Deep WILL NEGATE ANY WARRANTY on the microscope. Purging of
the microscope MAY only be needed in one specific issue, thus in most cases, your
microscope will NOT need to be purged.
