Description
Sensor
The camera features an Aptina color CMOS sensor. This is the most budget-friendly Magus camera with high resolution.
The 1/1.8'' sensor with 1.4x1.4µm pixel provides light sensitivity of 8.4 ke−/lux.sec. To achieve the maximum field of view without distortion, we recommend using an adapter with a magnification 0.5x.
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 objects and their structures. Before taking measurements, the software must be calibrated for each objective with a calibration slide.
Installation
The camera can be mounted on the microscope in two ways.
The first method involves installing it into the microscope’s camera port using a C‑mount adapter. Please note that this adapter may be included with your microscope, depending on its specific model and configuration.
The second method consists of inserting the camera into the eyepiece tube instead of the eyepiece. This requires a special C‑mount adapter as well as adapter rings that match the diameter of your microscope’s eyepiece tube. These components are not included in the standard package and are sold separately.
Before buying a camera, we recommend checking your microscope’s package contents and, if necessary, purchasing the appropriate adapters.
