Application Scenarios

  • Remote inspection of biological specimens or micro-assembly tasks using a tablet or smartphone via WiFi
  • Documentation of microscope observations in teaching labs with real-time image capture
  • Integration into a quality control line where multiple operators view the same image from different devices
  • Use in field labs or mobile inspection setups where wired connections are impractical
  • Combining with a microscope to record video of a process such as cell division or soldering

Who It Is For

  • Teaching and research laboratories in biology, zoology, and material science
  • Quality control teams in electronics and medical device manufacturing
  • Field technicians and mobile inspection units requiring portable imaging
  • Educational institutions conducting live microscopy demonstrations
  • Microscopy labs needing wireless image sharing across multiple devices

Problems It Solves

  • A wired-only camera limits mobility and requires a nearby computer for viewing
  • Lack of WiFi connectivity prevents remote monitoring or multi-device access
  • Low dynamic range and poor SNR result in washed-out or noisy images in variable lighting
  • Frequent camera failure due to moving parts in the IR-cut filter mechanism
  • Incompatibility between camera and microscope tube diameter due to fixed adapters
  • Need for separate software licenses or complex setup for cross-platform use

Technical Features

  • C-mount interface for direct attachment to microscope bodies with 23.2mm eyepiece tube
  • WiFi connectivity for wireless image streaming to Android, iOS, and PC devices
  • 1/2.8" CMOS sensor with 1080P resolution (1920x1080) at 25 fps
  • IR-cut filter blocks infrared light to improve color fidelity in visible spectrum
  • 380-650nm spectral range ensures accurate color reproduction in biological imaging
  • Whole area white balance with manual temperature and tint adjustment for color control
  • Ultra-Fine TM Color Engine enhances color detail and contrast in captured images
  • Supports still image and video recording with adjustable exposure from 0.059ms to 1941ms
  • Binning modes available (1x1, 2x2) for faster frame rates or improved low-light performance
  • Natural cooling system with no active fans ensures silent operation and long life
  • Maximum of 3 devices connected simultaneously via WiFi for shared viewing
  • Operating temperature range: -10°C to 50°C; storage: -20°C to 60°C
  • Operating humidity: 30-80% RH; storage humidity: 10-60% RH

  • Order with or without the USB2.0 cable and CD (driver and utilities software)
  • Provide custom SDK integration support for specific software platforms

Comparison With Other Options

WCAM C-mount USB2.0 camera without WiFiSame sensor and resolution, but the WiFi version allows wireless image streaming to tablets and phones without cables
Standard USB3.0 C-mount cameraLower resolution and frame rate than USB3.0 models, but sufficient for biological and stereo microscopy with lower power draw and simpler setup
Camera with moving IR-cut filterThe WCAM uses a fixed IR-cut filter with no moving parts, reducing mechanical failure risk and increasing lifespan

Use Guide

  • Attach the camera to the microscope using the C-mount interface and secure with the locking ring
  • Use the adjustable lens adapter if the microscope eyepiece tube is 23.2mm in diameter
  • Power the camera via USB charger; do not rely on PC USB ports for consistent power delivery
  • Connect to WiFi using the device's network name and password; ensure DHCP is enabled on the network
  • Launch the compatible software on your tablet, phone, or PC to view live feed or capture images
  • Adjust white balance manually if needed, especially under non-standard lighting
  • Use 2x2 binning to increase frame rate in low-light conditions or for faster live preview
Answers
