C2CMOS USB2.0 SONY C-mount Stereo Microscope Camera

Key Benefits

• 12 megapixel Sony IMX577 sensor captures 3840x3040 at 20fps over USB2.0
• Aluminum alloy body ensures ruggedness and long-term reliability
• Fixed IR-cut filter maintains color accuracy without moving parts
• Supports automatic and manual white balance with ROI and temperature/tint control
• Operates from -10 degC to 50 degC with 30% to 80% relative humidity
• No separate power supply needed - draws power from USB2.0 port
• Compatible with Windows, Linux, macOS, and Android via native SDKs
• Offers multiple resolution and frame rate options down to 960x760 at 20fps

Application Scenarios

• Integrating into a stereo microscope for real-time inspection of SMD components and solder joints
• Capturing high-resolution images of metallographic samples for quality control reports
• Documenting geological specimens or gemstone features in a lab environment
• Supporting automated inspection systems in electronics manufacturing with consistent image capture
• Using in a university lab for teaching microscopy with digital image output
• Connecting to a PC for live video streaming during precision assembly or repair tasks
• Recording detailed inspection sequences for training or audit purposes

Who It Is For

• Electronics manufacturers doing PCB and SMD inspection
• Metallurgy and materials science labs requiring high-resolution imaging
• University and school laboratories teaching microscopy and imaging
• Gemologists and mineralogists documenting crystal structures
• Precision assembly workshops needing image capture for process validation
• Research labs requiring consistent, repeatable digital imaging from microscopes

Problems It Solves

• A microscope without a digital camera forces an operator to describe defects instead of capturing them
• Low-resolution cameras fail to resolve fine solder joints or microstructures
• Cameras requiring external power supplies complicate setup and reduce portability
• Lack of white balance control leads to inconsistent color in images across sessions
• Non-rugged cameras fail in industrial environments with vibration or temperature variation
• Incompatible interfaces prevent integration with existing inspection or documentation systems

• Sony IMX577 sensor with 1/2.3" size and 1.55μm pixel pitch
• 12 megapixel resolution at 20fps in 3840x3040 mode
• USB2.0 interface for data and power, no external supply needed
• Fixed IR-cut filter for accurate color reproduction
• Aluminum alloy housing for durability and heat dissipation
• Operating temperature range: -10 degC to 50 degC
• Operating humidity: 30% to 80% RH
• Supports automatic and manual white balance with ROI and temperature/tint adjustment
• Built-in hardware ISP engine for real-time image processing

Comparison With Other Options

Use Guide

• Connect the camera to a USB2.0 port on a PC; the camera draws power from the same cable
• Use the provided SDK to configure white balance, exposure, and frame rate settings
• Ensure the microscope's C-mount adapter matches the camera's C-mount interface
• Set exposure time between 0.1ms and 2000ms depending on lighting conditions
• Use the fixed IR-cut filter for accurate color reproduction in visible light
• Avoid exposing the camera to temperatures below -10 degC or above 50 degC during operation
• Use the SDK to capture still images or record video for documentation
