E3CMOS USB3.0 SONY Biological Stereo Microscope Camera

Key Benefits

• USB3.0 interface enables high-speed data transfer up to 480Mbit/sec for real-time imaging
• Multiple sensor options allow selection based on resolution, sensitivity, and working distance
• Exposure range from 0.1ms to 60s supports both fast transient events and long-duration observations
• Binning modes (1x1, 2x2, 3x3) provide flexibility in resolution and frame rate trade-offs
• Integrated dark signal reduction improves image clarity under low-light conditions
• Supports both monochrome and global shutter variants for precise timing in dynamic imaging

Application Scenarios

• Biological sample observation with long exposure for low-light fluorescence imaging
• Microscopic inspection of small components in electronics or medical devices
• Time-lapse imaging of cell growth or chemical reactions with variable exposure
• Integration into a biological stereo microscope for documentation and reporting
• Use in teaching labs where multiple students view live images from a central monitor

Who It Is For

• Laboratories conducting biological or clinical sample analysis
• Electronics manufacturers performing SMD and BGA inspection
• Teaching institutions requiring digital imaging for microscopy demonstrations
• Research labs needing high-resolution, low-noise image capture
• Quality control departments requiring image documentation for compliance

Problems It Solves

• A standalone microscope without a digital camera requires a separate imaging system, increasing setup complexity
• Low sensitivity sensors produce noisy images in low-light conditions, reducing detail clarity
• Fixed exposure limits prevent observation of fast or slow processes without changing hardware
• Incompatible interfaces (e.g., USB2.0) limit frame rate and resolution in high-speed applications
• Lack of binning options restricts the ability to balance speed and resolution in real-time viewing

Technical Features

• USB3.0 interface with 480Mbit/sec data transfer rate
• C-mount lens adapter for direct integration with microscope bodies
• Multiple sensor types available: IMX492, IMX183, IMX304, IMX264, IMX178, IMX226, IMX036, IMX123, IMX265, IMX185, IMX249
• Exposure time range from 0.1ms to 60s, adjustable in software
• Binning modes: 1x1, 2x2, 3x3 for resolution and speed trade-offs
• Global shutter and rolling shutter variants available depending on model
• Dark signal below 0.21mv with 1/30s exposure for reduced noise
• Supports both monochrome and color sensor variants
• Power supplied via USB3.0, no external power required

Specifications

Specifications are taken from the AMADA product data for this item. Confirm critical dimensions with us in writing before ordering.

Customization Options

• Select from multiple sensor models based on resolution, sensitivity, and pixel size

Comparison With Other Options

Use Guide

• Ensure the microscope has a C-mount adapter and 1mm flange focal distance for correct focus
• Connect the camera to a USB3.0 port; USB2.0 ports will limit performance
• Use the provided software to adjust exposure, gain, and binning for optimal image quality
• For low-light imaging, increase exposure time and use binning to reduce noise
• For high-speed applications, reduce resolution and use 1x1 binning to maximize frame rate
• Verify sensor type and model match the required specifications before integration
