This 1.3MP digital camera for microscopes is designed to capture still images as well as stream and record live video on Windows Mac and Linux computers. The user-friendly stand-alone software for Windows XP/Vista/7/8/10 offers advanced features including stitching EDF (Extended Depth of Focus) video-recording and measurement functions. It allows you to make notes shapes watermarks and precise measurements with ease. Preview and capture resolutions can be set independently allowing you to simultaneously view high-speed low-resolution live video while capturing higher-resolution images or video. The software for Linux and Mac allow you to capture still images and record video as well as control color and exposure. Designed using the C-mount standard the camera with the included reduction lens and two sizing-adapters can fit 23mm 30mm and 30.5mm photo ports and ocular ports. The reduction lens increases the field-of-view to better match what s seen through the eyepieces. Using a standard USB 2.0 connection the camera is easy to install. Drawing power from the USB connection no additional connections are needed.
