Key Benefits

  • Sony Exmor/STARVIS back-illuminated CMOS sensor delivers high sensitivity and low dark signal for low-light imaging
  • 4K HDMI, WiFi, and USB3.0 outputs with automatic resolution switching between 4K and 1080P
  • Captures 8MP (3840x2160) images and 30fps video, stored locally on SD card or USB flash drive
  • Embedded XCamView software allows real-time camera control and image processing without a PC
  • Supports measurement data saved in a separate layer with image content for traceable inspection records

Application Scenarios

  • Real-time inspection of PCB solder joints under a stereo microscope with image streamed to a monitor
  • Online teaching sessions where students view live microscope feeds on tablets or smartphones
  • Documentation of biological specimens with 8MP images and measurement data saved with each file
  • Quality control in a production line using WiFi transmission to a central monitoring station
  • Field use with SD card storage when no computer is available for immediate data transfer

Who It Is For

  • Electronics manufacturers performing SMD and BGA inspection with stereo microscopes
  • Universities and schools conducting live microscopy demonstrations in teaching labs
  • Clinical and research labs requiring image documentation with measurement metadata
  • Field technicians using portable microscopes with on-site image capture and storage
  • Quality departments needing traceable inspection records with embedded measurement data

Problems It Solves

  • A microscope without a digital output forces the operator to describe defects instead of showing them
  • Limited output options prevent simultaneous use of a monitor, mobile device, and PC
  • Lack of local storage means images cannot be saved when a computer is not connected
  • No embedded software control requires a separate PC just to adjust camera settings
  • Measurement data lost when images are transferred without metadata attachment

Technical Features

  • Sony Exmor/STARVIS back-illuminated CMOS sensor with high sensitivity and low dark signal
  • Automatic resolution switching between 4K and 1080P based on connected monitor
  • Multiple output interfaces: HDMI, WiFi, USB3.0, and SD card for flexible deployment
  • Local image and video storage with support for SD card and USB flash drive
  • Embedded XCamView software for camera control and image processing without a PC
  • ToupView/ToupLite software for PC-based image capture and analysis
  • iOS and Android apps for live viewing and recording on smartphones and tablets
  • Measurement data saved in a separate layer with image content for traceability
