2MP HDMI Microscope Camera SONY IMX385 Industrial M2601

The M2601 is a 2-megapixel industrial microscope camera with an imported Sony CMOS sensor, designed for integration into microscope systems.

Product Overview

The M2601 is a 2-megapixel industrial microscope camera with an imported Sony CMOS sensor, designed for integration into microscope systems. It outputs 1080P 60FPS video over HDMI, supports manual and automatic exposure and white balance, and includes a one-key freeze/thaw function for capturing still images. The camera features a full metal shell with CNC processing and operates from a 12V DC power supply.

  • Sensor1/2 inch SONY 2 megapixel CMOS
  • Pixel size3.75μm x 3.75μm
  • HDMI output1920x1080 60FPS
  • Color depth12:12:12RGB (24bit true color)
  • Lens interfaceC/CS
  • ExposureAutomatic / Manual / One-button exposure

Key Benefits

  • 1/2-inch Sony CMOS sensor provides a wider viewing angle than 1/3-inch sensors
  • 1080P 60FPS output over HDMI for smooth, real-time inspection and documentation
  • One-key freeze/thaw function captures high-resolution stills without interrupting the live feed
  • Manual and automatic exposure control with adjustable exposure compensation
  • Adjustable white balance with R/G/B channel control for accurate color reproduction
  • Eight customizable straight lines for measurement or alignment reference in the image
  • OSD menu allows on-camera adjustment of exposure, white balance, brightness, and line settings
  • Sturdy metal housing with full CNC processing ensures durability in industrial environments
  • Automatic saving of shutdown parameters retains settings across power cycles

Application Scenarios

  • Integrating into a benchtop stereo or metallurgical microscope for real-time inspection of PCB solder joints
  • Using with a digital microscope stand to capture 1080P video for quality control reports
  • Documenting micro-assembly processes in watchmaking or electronics rework with line overlays for alignment
  • Supporting automated inspection workflows where HDMI output connects directly to a monitor or recording device
  • Teaching laboratory sessions where students view live, high-resolution images on a large screen

Who It Is For

  • Electronics manufacturers performing SMD and BGA inspection and rework
  • Quality control labs requiring documented inspection records with measurable reference lines
  • Teaching and training environments in engineering and technical colleges
  • Precision assembly workshops in jewellery, optics, and micro-mechanics
  • Industrial inspection lines using HDMI-compatible monitoring systems

Problems It Solves

  • A standard microscope with no camera requires a separate imaging device, increasing setup complexity and alignment risk
  • Low-resolution or slow frame rate cameras make it difficult to inspect fast-moving processes or capture fine details
  • Lack of freeze function forces operators to rely on external software or stills from a different device
  • Inconsistent color reproduction due to fixed white balance settings can misrepresent material defects
  • Non-durable plastic housings fail under repeated handling or harsh workshop conditions

Technical Features

  • Sony 2-megapixel CMOS sensor with 1/2-inch image size
  • Pixel size of 3.75μm x 3.75μm for balanced sensitivity and resolution
  • HDMI output supports 1920x1080 at 60 frames per second
  • Color depth of 12:12:12RGB (24-bit true color) for accurate color representation
  • One-key freeze/thaw function for instant still image capture
  • Exposure control: automatic, manual, or one-button mode with adjustable compensation
  • White balance: automatic, manual, or one-key with R/G/B channel adjustment
  • OSD menu for on-camera configuration of settings
  • Automatic parameter saving upon shutdown
  • 8 customizable straight lines with adjustable color, thickness, and position
  • Gain adjustment with SE1-SE3 levels for low-light performance
  • Wide dynamic range HDR1-5 levels adjustable for high-contrast scenes
  • Brightness and color adjustments in automatic or manual mode
  • Operating temperature: 0°C to 60°C
  • Working humidity: 5% to 85%
  • Input voltage: DC 12V, 2A
  • Net weight: 250g, gross weight: 450g
  • Product size: 68x68x47mm
  • Package size: 145x130x70mm
