The MU500-HS is a higher-speed version of our 5MP digital camera. An increased buffer allows for an increase in framerate. This C-mount camera is used for microscopes, 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. The included calibration slide allows you to take accurate measurements in the software by creating baseline measurements at multiple magnifications.
