MSHOT CCD Microscope Camera with 5 megapixel

The Mshot MC50 is a 5.0 MP cooled color camera offering superior image quality and long exposure times, ideal for fluorescence /weak signal or any low light condition. Its high resolution, fast frame rates and excellent color fidelity all guarantee an efficient microscopy workday.

CCD chip

The 2,560 x 1,944-pixel Sony ICX282 CCD chip used in the MC50 offers 12 bits per color channel and can be used for variable exposure times between 1.6 ms and 17.9 min with the help of Peltier cooling. These features, along with the high sensitivity, color fidelity, superior contrast and extraordinary signal-to-noise ratio make the MC50 a great universal high-resolution CCD color camera.

Interface

The MC50 makes a great addition to any microscopy system not only because of its great features, but also since it is easy to integrate using a standard C-mount adaptor to connect to the microscope and the high-speed data transfer and power capabilities of the USB2.0 interface.

Software

The camera can be fully operated using the Mshot Image processing Software, which offers a host of image processing, storage, preview and measurement functions.

Highlights:

• High resolution & high quality image.
• Real time preview and focusing.
• Image refresh rate up to 40fps.
• 12-bit color depth for outstanding color fidelity.
• USB2.0 design makes it easy to carry and install.
• Peltier cooled to 10º C below ambient
• Exposure times ranging from 1.6 ms to 17.9 min.
• Automatic exposure and white balance. Manual mode for fine tuning
• Standard C-MOUNT is widely used in connection between microscope and camera.
• 2/3”Sony ICX282 Progressive Scan Interline CCD, good quality guarantee.
