5.0 Megapixel Digital Microscope Camera w/ Live Video

A Full Featured Professional Digital Microscope Camera: This Variscope Digital Microscope Camera offers all of the features you would expect from a top-of-the-line digital microscopy set-up. Included with the camera is a fully-functioning software suite enabling you both to view video images of your specimens and to capture still frames. This microscope camera can be used for any digital microscopy application. The camera is ideal both for stereo microscopes and biological compound microscopes.

Simple to Use: This model uses a "through-the-ocular" design. Simply remove a microscope eyepiece and insert the camera. It couldn't be easier. The camera comes complete with a set of adapters to allow use in 23.5mm (compound/biological) and both 30mm and 30.5mm (stereo) microscope eyepiece oculars.

Ideal for Video and Screen Output: This camera uses a 1/2.2" CMOS imaging chip (the same kind used in regular digital cameras) and USB 2.0 to output 2592x1944 pixel images, that's more than 5 Megapixels of information. This ultra high-resolution output is comparable to today's top-of-the-line digital still cameras, and exceeds high-def video. With 5MP you will be able to print poster size images at 150 dpi, and have crystal clear printed images at smaller sizes. Despite the large file sizes, with the USB 2.0 connection, your refresh rate is still 7 frames every second. This is an ideal camera for shooting professional quality images for print applications.

Powerful Microscopy Software: Included with the camera is a comprehensive digital microscopy software editing suite. Compatible with Windows 2000/XP/Vista, the software outputs files in nearly every graphics format imaginable, including web standard JPEG, GIF and even PhotoShop .psd files. The software allows you to measure angles, add graphics and text, and do color corrections and contrast adjustments right on your PC screen.
