Versatile CMOS Cameras For Microscopy And Biotechnology

Available in board level and lightweight C/CS-Mount housing variants, the cameras feature high-performance colour and monochrome CMOS sensors ranging from wide VGA resolution (752 x 480 pixels) up to 10 megapixel resolution (3840 x 2478). Key imaging features include long term exposure, binning and ROI readout for increased sensitivity and frame rate capabilities. Camera versions with built-in trigger and strobe are available in addition to two general purpose I/O.

Ideally suited for applications where space is restricted, the housed version is just 4.4 x 4.4 x 2.54 cm H x W x D. The camera has a CS-mount lens adapter for compact, low-cost lenses which includes back focus adjustment for easy set up with zoom lenses. A C-mount lens ring is supplied. The board-level options provide S-mount lens adapters for M12/ M14 screw-mounted lenses, and have a built-in I2C bus that can be used to control external devices.

System integration is simply and rapidly achieved through the comprehensive software package supplied, which includes drivers for Windows and Linux, interfaces for various image processing packages and a Software Development Kit.
