LCMOS USB2.0 Stereo Biological C-mount Microscope Camera

Key Benefits

• USB2.0 interface powers the camera and transfers data over a single cable
• Multiple sensor sizes from 1.3M to 14M pixels allow selection by application need
• Adjustable exposure from 0.14ms to 2000ms supports low-light and high-speed imaging
• Binning modes (1x1, 2x2, 3x3, 4x4) increase frame rate at lower resolution
• Supports still and movie capture with software SDKs for Windows, Linux, macOS, and Android
• IR-cut filter enables visible light imaging with minimal infrared interference
• Wide dynamic range and high SNR improve image clarity in variable lighting

Application Scenarios

• Automated inspection of PCBs and SMD components using a microscope with a C-mount camera
• Documentation of biological specimens in teaching labs with high-resolution stills
• Quality control of small mechanical parts in precision assembly lines
• Microscopic imaging in metallurgy and material science with adjustable exposure
• Integration into a custom microscope stand for research or process monitoring

Who It Is For

• Electronics manufacturers doing PCB and SMD inspection
• Teaching and research laboratories in biology and materials science
• Quality control departments in precision manufacturing
• Microscopy system integrators building custom inspection setups
• Research labs requiring high dynamic range and low-light imaging

Problems It Solves

• A standalone microscope without a digital camera forces manual documentation or photo capture with a separate device
• Fixed frame rate cameras limit the ability to capture fast-moving processes or low-light details
• Lack of exposure control leads to overexposed or underexposed images in variable lighting
• No software SDKs prevent integration into automated inspection or measurement systems
• Incompatible interfaces require adapters or additional power supplies

Technical Features

• C-mount interface for direct attachment to microscope tubes
• USB2.0 interface provides both data and power from a single connection
• Exposure time adjustable from 0.14ms to 2000ms for high-speed and low-light use
• Binning modes (1x1, 2x2, 3x3, 4x4) to increase frame rate at reduced resolution
• Supports still image and movie recording with software SDKs
• IR-cut filter blocks infrared light for accurate color reproduction
• White balance adjustment available for color sensors; manual control for monochrome
• Operating temperature range from -10 degC to 50 degC for stable performance in lab and shop environments

Comparison With Other Options

Use Guide

• Connect the camera to a USB2.0 port on a PC; no external power supply is required
• Use the C-mount adapter to attach the camera to the microscope's tube or eyepiece
• Adjust exposure time to prevent overexposure in bright lighting or underexposure in dim areas
• Use binning (2x2 or 4x4) to increase frame rate when real-time viewing is needed
• Use the SDK to control white balance, ROI, and capture settings for consistent results
• Ensure the IR-cut filter is active to avoid color distortion from infrared light
