UNIQUE 3.0MP COLOR CMOS CAMERA FOR MICROSCOPY
….DC3-SD!

This metal housing camera with c-mount fitting includes a 50 mm diagonal LCD display so you can use the camera with the DC power supply without your PC connected. The camera includes a slot for SD and a 1g SD card to get you started. Capture images without PC connection and download later via USB2 (cable included). Each DC3-SD also includes a wireless remote control and a wired cable release to avoid vibration when capturing an image. Includes camera driver and even a NTSC cable for sending real time images to a regular TV with RCA-IN connection. Best choice for “no-eyepiece microscopes and macrozooms”.

Once connected to your PC, the LCD screen on the camera cuts off and you now view from your PC monitor and the camera receives power from the PC via the USB2 cable.

Software included for calibration and linear dimension measurements plus circumference and radius measurements on circular objects. Connect directly to a digital projector, TV or photo printer (PictBridge). Use it in the field to capture images on SD/MMC card and download to your PC back in the lab!

MEASURE ON THE LIVE IMAGE…no need to SAVE and RETRIEVE.

Best used with a 0.5x C-mount coupler on your microscope. Model DC3-SD is $699.00 ….. $799.00 if you want a stage micrometer included for calibration and measurements. RESELLERS AND O.E.M. CUSTOMERS WANTED….call or EMAIL.

XGA TRUE COLOR RGB CAMERA

XGA-HD15 Camera shown with "Infiniprobe" and mini-ringlight with X/Y Theta stage.

Here is a fine new CMOS sensor camera (1/2.5") with features that include the following:

1024x768 XGA Resolution
8:8:8 True Color RGB (24-bit)
HD15-pin analog output*
C-mount connection
Crosshair lines for QC
Manual GAIN control
Adjustable RGB control
Real time 60fps
5.2 micron square pixels
4:3 or 16:9 CRT, LCD or PLASMA

NO COMPUTER!!

This unique camera is the perfect solution for those who want a substantially sharper image than they are getting with older analog video cameras (VGA 640x480). The XGA-HD15 offers 2.5 times the number of pixels and superior color fidelity ... especially at the lower optical magnifications as encountered in many biology and industrial settings. Forget about poor color separation and obsolete analog video images!

#07580V	Fixed crossline generator option	$799.00
#07580VM	Variable 8-line generator option (up to four horizontal and four vertical lines that you can position as needed for counting grids or go/no-go decisions)	$899.00
NOTE:	Lines may be kept "invisible" for full screen viewing of the image. This is a perfect camera for industrial inspection. NO PC CONNECTION IS REQUIRED!

NEW 9 MP COLOR CMOS DIGITAL CAMERA – USB2 CONNECTION

The newest color digital camera will include a 0.5X c-mount coupler with RMS 23.2mm fitting. An additional adapter will be included to fit 30mm ocular ports. This optical coupler can easily cost $400 or more as a separate item …

CODE #075TCA9
Color 9MP CMOS digital camera with 0.5x C-mount and software $899.00

Note: We also offer a 3MP and 5MP color CMOS camera priced at $499 and $699 respectively.

NEW SXGA CMOS COLOR CAMERAS – COMPACT DESIGN, SD-CARD SLOT, NO-COMPUTER, LOW PRICE, OPTIONS FOR 16:9 DISPLAYS AND 8-LINE GENERATOR OR CROSSLINES.

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.

SPECIAL ANNOTATION AND MARKER DEVICE FOR USE WITH XGA, SXGA AND WSXGA CAMERAS … POINTMAKER FROM BOECKELER USA $1595.00

Here you will see one of the XGA cameras connected to the PVI46 Pointmaker electronic up on the shelf just below the display screen. The PVI46 is then connected to a digitizing tablet with all menu selections (colors, markers, etc.) and the user then uses a wireless "pen" on the digitizing tablet for realtime pointing or marking.

A special compact keyboard may also be plugged in to the control unit for creating on-screen text. Use this setup for live lectures or training of students … annotate as you talk just like on Monday Night Football! Create text or annotations on the image prior to taking a photo with the SD card cameras … lots of options here!
