This new color camera comes in a more compact housing (metal) than the first generation camera from 2009. All models include an SD card slot and 1GB SD card plus tethered remote shutter release to take still photos at any time. The menu screen appears on the viewing monitor or projection system. Standard HD15 plug connectivity means you can use a PC display/projector without having a PC connected … no software, no problems.
A SXGA 1.3MP camera is offered for those still using 4:3 display devices. One camera has an on/off crossline built-in. Another has an 8-line variable line generator (four vertical and four horizontal) to set up for counting and go/no-go decision making.
These cameras can also be used on the current 16:9 displays but the image will be stretched somewhat in the horizontal direction.
A more current model with 1.7MP (actually WSXGA 1680x1050) resolution is available for a modest price increase over the SXGA model. If you know you are going to display on a classroom or conference room display set up for 16:9 … you will want to select one of these cameras. Same features as the 1.3 but you now fill the entire 16:9 frame without horizontal stretching of the image. Letterboxed if you use this camera on a 4:3 display.
Each camera is c-mounted and a 0.5x microscope coupler is suggested. Each camera comes with a USA 120V DC power supply and cable set. All viewing is in real time and photos may be taken at the push of a button. You then simply insert the SD card into your PC, printer or SD card reader for quick transfer of the images for inclusion in reports or as email attachments for consulting. Each student can have their own SD card for image capture and archiving of their personal research. Industrial microscopists can now save go/no-go images or monitor their samples at various stages of production. Perfect for documenting failure analysis and incoming inspection rejections. All you need to supply is the display device and a suitable HD15 male/male cable (aka "VGA" cable 15-pin).
We also have a special version of the 1.3 and 1.7 cameras that has a built-in circuit to reduce highly reflective glare coming from the samples. This model is ideal for PCB inspections and repairs of solder joints using LED and fluorescent ringlights on the microscope/macrozoom. Contact us for further details on these six new camera products. You will be pleased with the reasonable price tags!
NOTE: photo shows HD15 cable, power supply cable and tethered remote shutter release. The SD card is shown just in front of the HD connector.
