Application Scenarios

  • High-resolution inspection of PCBs, SMD components, and BGA joints with real-time 4K output
  • Documentation of micro-assembly processes in watchmaking, jewellery, or precision engineering
  • Integration into a microscope stand for teaching labs requiring live 4K projection to a screen
  • Use in quality control with automated measurement data embedded in the image file
  • Remote inspection via LAN or WiFi in a production line where the camera is mounted on a fixed microscope

Who It Is For

  • Electronics manufacturers doing SMD and BGA rework and inspection
  • Teaching laboratories requiring high-resolution image projection
  • Quality departments needing measurement data embedded in inspection images
  • Precision assembly workshops in watchmaking, jewellery, and micro-mechanics
  • Research labs requiring long-exposure or high-speed imaging with a microscope

Problems It Solves

  • A standard microscope without a high-resolution camera forces operators to rely on low-quality phone photos
  • Fixed resolution cameras limit the ability to capture fast motion or low-light details
  • Lack of multiple output options requires separate devices for display, recording, and remote viewing
  • No embedded measurement data means post-processing is needed to verify dimensions
  • Inadequate exposure control prevents clear imaging of both bright and dark features in one frame

Technical Features

  • C-mount interface for direct attachment to microscope bodies
  • Sony IMX678 sensor with 1/1.8" active area and 2.0μm pixel size
  • 60fps at 3840x2160 resolution over HDMI2.0 and USB3.0
  • Exposure time adjustable from 0.019ms to 1000ms for dynamic range control
  • H264/H265 encoding with MP4 file output for efficient storage
  • Supports real-time video streaming via LAN or 5G WiFi with automatic resolution switching
  • Onboard image capture at 3840x2160 resolution with JPEG/TIFF format
  • Measurement data can be burned into the image or saved in a separate layer
  • Built-in SDIO3.0 slot for SD card storage with priority settings
  • USB3.0 port for direct connection to PC or USB flash drive for file transfer
