PROMICAM 3-2CP2.3 MP USB 3.0 color digital microscope camera with 1/1.2" global shutter CMOS sensor
This camera is discontinued. Recommended replacement: PROMICAM PRO 3-3CP.
PROMICAM 3-2CP color microscope camera with 2.3 MP resolution provides excellent image quality and is extremly low-noise. The Sony® Pregius® CMOS sensor delivers perfect results even in low light conditions. With 5.86 µm pixels, the camera is also suitable for weak fluorescence.
The sensor uses global shutter, which enables observation of fast moving objects without image distortion. Live view frame rate in full 2.3 MP resolution reaches up to 41 fps. Furthermore, large sensor with 1/1.2" diagonal enables to use 1x C-mount microscope coupler to reduce cost. The camera is produced by PROMICRA and is supported by QuickPHOTO programs.
Suitable for Applications:
Samples Acquired by PROMICAM 3-2CP Microscope Camera
Images were acquired from Olympus® BX41 microscope and Olympus® SZX7 stereomicroscope with 1x C-mount optical adapter.
