Truechrome 4K Pro Sony IMX485 8MP HDMI+USB Microscope Camera

The Truechrome 4K Pro is a microscope camera with a Sony IMX485 sensor, delivering 8 megapixels at 3840x2160 resolution.

Product Overview

The Truechrome 4K Pro is a microscope camera with a Sony IMX485 sensor, delivering 8 megapixels at 3840x2160 resolution. It supports HDMI, USB3.0, and LAN outputs, enabling high-speed 30 FPS capture at full 4K resolution. The 2.9um pixel size is smaller than the 2.8um ideal for 450nm light, ensuring the camera resolves the full optical efficiency of 40X and 60X objectives. It connects to Mosaic V2 or V3 software via USB or cloud, and supports remote control and live streaming over internet platforms.

  • ModelTruechrome 4K Pro
  • Sensor TypeSONY IMX485
  • Color / MonoColor
  • Sensor Size1/1.2" (13.33 mm diagonal)
  • Resolution8MP, 3840 (H) x 2160 (V)
  • Pixel Size2.9 μm x 2.9 μm

Key Benefits

  • 8MP resolution at 3840x2160 delivers 2.3um pixel pitch, fully matching 40X and 60X objective optical resolution
  • 2.9um pixel size is smaller than the 2.8um ideal for 450nm light, maximizing optical efficiency
  • 30 FPS at 4K resolution over USB3.0, HDMI, and LAN, maintaining real-time performance even remotely
  • Supports remote control via Mosaic V2 or V3 software over cloud or USB, enabling operator separation from the lab
  • HDMI, USB3.0, and LAN outputs allow flexible integration with monitors, computers, and live streaming platforms

Application Scenarios

  • Remote inspection in cleanrooms or medical labs where operators must stay outside the work zone
  • Live teaching sessions where a lecturer shares a microscope view with multiple students via Ding Talk or TikTok
  • Quality control documentation requiring full 4K resolution for high-magnification components
  • Collaborative troubleshooting with offsite engineers using real-time video over internet platforms
  • High-speed inspection of microstructures where 30 FPS at 4K ensures no motion blur

Who It Is For

  • Medical and clinical laboratories requiring contamination-free operation
  • Cleanroom environments in semiconductor or pharmaceutical manufacturing
  • Teaching institutions conducting remote microscopy instruction
  • Quality assurance teams needing high-resolution image capture for reports
  • Research labs requiring live data sharing across multiple locations

Problems It Solves

  • A 1080P camera's 4.6um pixel pitch barely meets 40X and 60X objective resolution; the 4K camera fully matches it
  • Fixed camera setups require physical access to adjust settings; remote control allows changes without entering the lab
  • Single-operator systems limit collaboration; live streaming enables multiple viewers in real time
  • Separate video capture and microscope systems often mismatch sensor size and interface; this camera integrates directly
  • Low frame rates at high resolution cause motion blur in fast-moving inspection tasks; 30 FPS at 4K avoids this

Technical Features

  • Sony IMX485 sensor with 1/1.2" size and 8MP resolution at 3840x2160
  • 2.9um x 2.9um pixel size, smaller than the 2.8um ideal for 450nm light
  • Rolling shutter mode with exposure time from 1μs to 1s
  • 30 frames per second at full 4K resolution over USB3.0, HDMI, or LAN
  • Supports remote control via Mosaic V2 or V3 software over USB or cloud
  • HDMI output supports cloud transmission; USB supports Mosaic V2/V3
  • Color temperature range 1800K to 10000K for flexible lighting adaptation
  • SD card format FAT32 for local recording when needed

Comparison With Other Options

1080P microscope cameraThe 1080P camera has a 4.6um pixel pitch, which barely meets 40X and 60X objective resolution; the 4K camera's 2.3um pitch fully matches it, ensuring the lens operates at peak efficiency.
USB2.0 microscope cameraUSB2.0 limits data transfer to 480Mbit/sec; USB3.0 supports 30 FPS at 4K, avoiding frame drops during high-speed capture.
Camera without remote controlWithout remote control, operators must enter the lab to adjust settings; the Truechrome 4K Pro allows full remote operation via Mosaic software, reducing contamination risk.

Use Guide

  • Connect the camera to a USB3.0 port or HDMI input to ensure full 30 FPS at 4K resolution
  • Use Mosaic V2 or V3 software for remote control; ensure the computer and camera are on the same network
  • Set exposure time between 1μs and 1s based on lighting conditions; use shorter times for bright fields
  • Enable cloud transmission via HDMI for remote viewing on platforms like Ding Talk or TikTok
  • Format SD cards to FAT32 before use; the camera only supports this format for local recording
