MINI High Sensitive Digital Microscope Camera (QXM-IMX322 Series)

MINI High Sensitive Digital Microscope Camera (QXM-IMX322 Series)

QXM-IMX322 Series digital cameras come with Sony Exmor CMOS sensor with high sensitivity, low dark current and no smear achieved through the adoption of R, G and B primary color mosaic filters. The cameras use a standard C-mount interface for maximum compatibility with various microscopy-systems. It can be used as a stand-alone recorder when used with an HDMI displayer or television, or live-streamed to a PC via USB for image-capture and video-recording. Hardware 3D denoising, sharpness and local tone mapping control functions greatly improve the image and video quality. The included Windows software ImageView offers image-development and measurement tools, as well as advanced compositing features such as image-stitching and extended-depth-of-focus. With the ability to calibrate scales at multiple magnifications, the software can be used for multi-level inspection. For Mac and Linux, there is a lite version of the software which can capture video and still images, and includes limited processing features

Application

The QXM-IMX322 Series cameras can be used to capture digital images from biological microscopes, industrial microscopes or online interactive teaching. They can meet various applications and can be widely used in industrial inspection, education and research, materials analysis, precision measurement, medical analyses etc.

The possible applications of QXM-IMX322 series HDMI/USB cameras are as follows:

  1. Scientific research, education (teaching, demonstration and academic exchanges);
  2. Digital laboratory, medical research;
  3. Industrial visual (PCB examination, IC quality control);
  4. Medical treatment (pathological observation);
  5. Food (microbial colony observation and counting);
  6. Aerospace, military (high sophisticated weapons).
