Description
Sensor
The camera is equipped with a SONY Exmor backlit monochrome CMOS sensor. This technology increases light sensitivity and improves camera performance in low-light conditions.
The monochrome sensor does not capture the colors of the sample but has 2–4 times higher light sensitivity than a color sensor. The image is brighter and more contrasty, making the monochrome camera suitable for low-light environments.
The 1/1.2" sensor with 5.86x5.86µm pixel provides light sensitivity of 1016mV with 1/30s. To achieve the maximum field of view without distortion, we recommend using an adapter with a magnification of 0.75x to 1x.
Shutter
The camera has a global shutter. The signal is read from all photosensitive elements of the sensor simultaneously. Fast-moving objects are seen clearly and without false optical effects. The image in low light is bright and well-detailed, which is especially important for fluorescence microscopy.
Software features
The camera uses software to display images on an external display, take photographs, record video, edit images, and measure linear and angular dimensions of samples and their structures. Before taking measurements, the software must be calibrated for each objective with a calibration slide.
Installation
The camera is mounted on the microscope in the trinocular tube/camera port using the C-mount adapter (included). To mount the camera in an eyepiece tube instead of an eyepiece, you will need a special C-mount adapter and adapter rings (not included) to fit the tube diameter.
