MC300 Digital Video Measuring Microscope

The MC300 Digital Video Measuring Microscope is a fixed stand instrument with a 5.0 megapixel USB3.0 CCD camera and a 10X objective, designed for precise dimensional measurement and inspection of small

Product Overview

The MC300 Digital Video Measuring Microscope is a fixed stand instrument with a 5.0 megapixel USB3.0 CCD camera and a 10X objective, designed for precise dimensional measurement and inspection of small components. It provides a 10X magnification with a 100mm working distance and a 20mm field of view, allowing a technician to measure features on a PCB, connector pin, or machined part while keeping tools clear under the optics. The camera streams 2560x1920 resolution at 30 frames per second over USB3.0, enabling real-time capture and analysis of measurements.

Key Benefits

  • 100mm working distance allows tools, probes or fixtures to remain under the optics during measurement
  • 5.0 megapixel USB3.0 CCD camera captures 2560x1920 at 30fps for accurate and smooth measurement tracking
  • 10X objective provides 10X magnification with a 20mm field of view for inspecting small features
  • Fixed stand design ensures repeatable positioning for consistent measurement results
  • USB3.0 interface delivers high-speed data transfer and powers the camera without a separate supply

Application Scenarios

  • Measuring solder joint height and pad alignment on a PCB using a digital caliper overlay in software
  • Verifying the dimensions of a machined metal pin or connector housing against a CAD drawing
  • Documenting the size and shape of a micro-assembly component for quality control records
  • Performing first-article inspection on a new batch of precision-machined parts
  • Teaching metrology techniques in a training lab using a shared monitor for real-time measurement display

Who It Is For

  • Electronics manufacturers doing PCB and SMD inspection and rework
  • Quality control labs in automotive, aerospace and medical device production
  • Precision machining and tooling workshops requiring repeatable measurements
  • Teaching laboratories in engineering and technical colleges
  • Metrology departments in small to medium-sized manufacturing facilities

Problems It Solves

  • A fixed stand microscope without a camera requires manual sketching or note-taking instead of digital measurement records
  • Low-resolution cameras or slow USB2.0 interfaces cause lag or pixelation during measurement tracking
  • Short working distance instruments block access to tools when measuring under components
  • Inconsistent positioning due to adjustable stands leads to measurement variation between operators
  • Separate camera and microscope purchases often mismatch in tube diameter, focus, and sensor alignment

Technical Features

  • Fixed stand with a 100mm working distance and 10X objective
  • 5.0 megapixel CCD sensor with progressive scan mode
  • USB3.0 interface at 5Gbit/sec for high-speed image transfer and camera power
  • 10X magnification with a 20mm field of view at the standard working distance
  • 30 frames per second at full resolution for smooth motion tracking during measurement
  • Built-in illumination with adjustable brightness for consistent contrast on reflective or matte surfaces
  • No moving parts in the stand design, so the optical path remains stable across sessions

Comparison With Other Options

MC300 without cameraThe standard MC300 includes a 5.0MP USB3.0 CCD camera; the version without camera lacks digital capture and measurement capabilities.
MC300 with USB2.0 cameraThe USB3.0 version transfers data at 5Gbit/sec, reducing lag and enabling 30fps capture; USB2.0 is slower and may limit frame rate at full resolution.
Portable digital microscopeA portable digital microscope has a flexible arm and variable working distance but lacks the fixed stand stability needed for repeatable measurement tasks.

Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the working distance on the standard MC300?

100mm. This allows tools, probes or fixtures to remain under the optics during measurement.

Can I use this microscope for measuring PCB solder joints?

Yes. The 10X objective and 20mm field of view allow clear viewing of solder joints, and the 5.0MP camera enables precise measurement with software overlays.

Does the camera need a separate power supply?

No. The camera is powered over the USB3.0 connection that also carries image data.

What magnification can I reach with optional objectives?

10X to 100X with optional 20X, 50X and 100X objectives.

Can I upgrade the camera to a higher resolution model?

Yes. Optional cameras include a 3.0MP USB3.0 CCD and a 1.3MP USB2.0 CMOS.

Is the stand adjustable?

No. The MC300 comes with a fixed stand for stable, repeatable positioning. Mounting options are available for bench or table use.
