• Multiple sensor options from 9M to 45M pixels with 1x1, 2x2, 3x3, and 4x4 binning modes
• Exposure times from 0.1ms to 1 hour allow capture of fast events or low-light scenes
• Supports 8-bit, 12-bit, 14-bit, and 16-bit ADC for flexible dynamic range control
• C-mount interface ensures compatibility with standard microscope bodies and lenses
• Available in both standard and high-sensitivity (M) versions for different lighting conditions

Application Scenarios

• High-resolution documentation of microstructures in metallurgical or semiconductor inspection
• Long-exposure imaging of faint fluorescence or low-contrast features in biological samples
• Automated inspection lines requiring stable image capture over extended periods
• Quality control in electronics manufacturing where fine solder joints or wire bonds need detailed imaging
• Research applications involving time-lapse or low-light imaging with minimal noise

Who It Is For

• Industrial quality control labs inspecting PCBs, SMDs, and BGA components
• Metallurgical and materials science labs analyzing grain structure and defects
• Semiconductor and optical component manufacturers requiring high-resolution imaging
• Research laboratories conducting fluorescence or low-light microscopy
• Universities and teaching labs needing reliable, upgradeable camera systems

Problems It Solves

• A non-cooled camera generates excess dark noise during long exposures, degrading image quality
• Fixed-resolution cameras limit flexibility when switching between high-speed and high-detail capture
• Lack of USB3.0 support restricts frame rates and data throughput in high-speed inspection
• Incompatible sensor sizes or interfaces prevent integration with existing microscope setups
• No binning options force users to accept lower frame rates or reduced resolution

Technical Features

• Cooled CMOS sensor with TE cooling to reduce dark signal and improve image stability
• USB3.0 interface with 5Gbps bandwidth for high-speed data transfer and real-time imaging
• Multiple sensor formats: 4/3", APS-C, 1", and 1.8" with corresponding pixel sizes
• Exposure control from 0.1ms to 1 hour for capturing fast or slow events
• Binning modes: 1x1, 2x2, 3x3, 4x4 for balancing resolution and frame rate
• Selectable ADC bit depth: 8-bit, 12-bit, 14-bit, or 16-bit for dynamic range control
• C-mount thread (0.8"-32UN) ensures compatibility with standard microscope bodies
• High sensitivity variants (M) with improved full-well capacity and signal response
• Low dark signal (as low as 0.04mV with 1/30s exposure) for clean long exposures
