5.1 Megapixel Microscope Camera with Basic Software DCM5.3

This DCM5.3 is a 5.1 megapixel digital camera that connects directly to your computer via the USB 3.0 port. With the included basic capture and measure software for PC, MAC, or Linux you can view, capture and make measurements of images directly from your microscope. This digital camera mounts to a C-Mount adapter on the trinocular port of your microscope.

Software Calibration: If you plan to make measurements using the software you will need to calibrate the microscope. Calibrating your software with the microscope requires use of a stage micrometer. When ordering please select this option if you do not already have a stage micrometer. There are two stage micrometers recommended:

• Stereo microscope stage micrometer is a dual ruler with 1" equally spaced and numbered 0-10 as well as 25mm equally spaced and numbered 0-25. If NIST certification is selected 10 points on each scale will be certified. Please note that NIST certification takes approximately 2 weeks.
  
• Compound microscope stage micrometer is 1mm / 100 divisions. If NIST certification is selected 10 points will be certified. Please note that NIST certification takes approximately 2 weeks.

Computer Requirements

• Windows 7, 8, 10 (32&64bit), Mac OSX (NOTE: measurement feature will not work on a MAC), Linux (Kernel 2 or above)
• CPU: Intel Core2, 2.8GHz or Higher
• USB Port 2.0 or higher
• RAM: 2 GB or more

Warranty: 1-Year Limited Warranty
