Which camera is suitable for biological microscope imaging?

The ARTCAM-150P5-WOM uses a CCD color image sensor and is suitable when smooth gradation is important, including many biological microscope applications.

Which camera is suitable for stereo or metallurgical microscope imaging?

The ARTCAM-300MI-WOM uses a CMOS color image sensor with 3.0 megapixel resolution and is suitable for many stereo microscope and metallurgical microscope documentation workflows.

Is a phototube sleeve required?

Depending on the microscope photo port, optional sleeves such as NY-BH, NY-JIS or NY-NF may be required. The microscope model and photo port should be checked before ordering.

C-Mount USB Camera -
ARTCAM-150P5-WOM / 300MI-WOM

USB2.0 C-mount microscope camera sets for image capture, documentation and measurement workflows.

These camera sets combine an industrial-purpose ARTCAM USB camera with the NY-CZ
C-mount microscope adapter. The USB2.0 interface sends image data directly to a PC without a capture board, and the camera-side memory helps reduce dropped data during transfer.
