C3CMOS USB2.0 SONY C-mount Biological Microscope Camera

Key Benefits

• USB3.0 interface enables high-speed data transfer for real-time imaging and analysis
• Compact CNC aluminum alloy housing provides durability and heat dissipation
• Supports multiple sensor sizes and resolutions from 3.5M to 10M pixels
• Native SDKs for Windows, Linux, macOS, and Android allow custom integration
• High frame rates up to 137 fps at reduced resolution for dynamic imaging
• Built-in IR-cut filter protects the sensor and improves image clarity in visible light
• No moving parts in the IR-cut mechanism ensure long-term reliability
• Power drawn directly from the USB port, eliminating need for external supply

Application Scenarios

• Biological sample imaging in teaching labs with real-time display on a monitor
• Documentation of cell structures or tissue sections for research or quality reports
• Integration into a microscope stand for automated inspection in a production line
• Use in veterinary or clinical labs for capturing high-resolution stills and video
• Support for image analysis workflows using custom software via SDKs
• Remote operation in labs where the camera is mounted on a microscope and controlled from a PC

Who It Is For

• Teaching and research laboratories in universities and schools
• Clinical and veterinary diagnostic labs requiring image documentation
• Biological and medical research teams performing cell or tissue analysis
• Quality control departments in pharmaceutical or biotech manufacturing
• Microscopy setup integrators building custom inspection systems

Problems It Solves

• A standalone microscope without a camera forces manual sketching or verbal description of findings
• Low frame rate cameras limit the ability to capture fast-moving biological processes
• Lack of SDK support prevents integration into custom inspection or analysis software
• Inadequate power delivery from USB ports causes camera instability or disconnection
• Poor heat management in plastic housings leads to sensor degradation over time
• No IR-cut filter allows infrared light to interfere with visible spectrum imaging

Technical Features

• USB3.0 interface for high-speed data transfer and power delivery
• Sony or OnSemi CMOS sensor as image pickup device
• CNC aluminum alloy housing for durability and thermal stability
• IR-cut filter integrated into the optical path to block infrared light
• No moving parts in the IR-cut mechanism for long-term reliability
• Support for multiple operating systems including Windows, Linux, macOS, and Android
• High frame rates at reduced resolutions for dynamic imaging applications
• Exposure time adjustable from 0.1ms to 2000ms for low-light and fast-shutter use
• Auto and manual white balance with ROI and temperature/tint adjustment options
• Color and monochrome imaging modes with hardware ISP engine for image enhancement

Comparison With Other Options

Use Guide

• Connect the camera to a USB3.0 port on a PC to ensure full data bandwidth and power delivery
• Use the ToupView software for initial setup, exposure control, and image capture
• Adjust white balance manually if automatic mode does not produce accurate colors
• Enable binning (1x1, 2x2, 4x4) to increase frame rate when capturing fast-moving samples
• Set exposure time between 0.1ms and 2000ms depending on lighting and sample dynamics
• Verify SDK compatibility with your development environment before integration
• Keep the camera in a stable environment within the operating temperature and humidity range
