Best image quality is the specialty of DCM500 cameras. Providing a resolution of up to 5.2 mega pixels and a subtle color differentiation, the microscope camera DCM500 captures excellent digital images, especially when contrast methods with high light intensities are applied. The integrated CMOS sensor is absolutely resistant against blooming and shows superior performance in imaging highlights.
DCM500 works perfectly with any kind of optical microscopes, including biological microscopes, metallurgical microscopes and stereomicroscopes. The images of the observed items or samples can be accurately displayed on the PC screen. ArcSoft WebCam Companion2, the powerful advanced software included into the package, ensures simple and convenient editing of the captured images. Ease of operation, high resolution and excellent color reproduction are the distinguishing features of the microscope camera DCM500. It is ideal for high-quality image documentation and elementary image analysis.
To equip a digital microscope, please remove the eyepiece from a regular microscope ocular tube and insert DCM500 camera into it. Plug DCM camera to the USB2.0 port of your computer.
