AmScope MU Series 5.0MP USB 2.0 Color CCD C-Mount Microscope Camera with Reduction Lens

The MU500-CCD is a cost-effective 5MP imaging solution for fluorescence or dark-field microscopy. Providing good detail for qualitative or quantitative analysis in low-light conditions, this camera holds a good balance between cost and results. Deriving power from the USB connection, the camera can be used at home, in a lab, or in the field. The industry-standard C-mount design allows this camera to be connected directly to C-mount photo-ports, or used in conjunction with an array of lenses and adapters to mount to virtually any popular microscope line.

With software available for Windows, Mac, and Linux, the MU series is a multi-platform imaging solution. The included Windows software offers image-development and measurement tools, as well as advanced compositing features such as image-stitching and extended-depth-of-focus. With the ability to calibrate scales at multiple magnifications, the software can be used for multi-level inspection. Independent preview and capture resolutions allow you to view high-speed video while simultaneously capturing high-definition images. For Mac and Linux, there is a lite version of the software which can capture video and still images, and includes limited processing features.
