C-Mount The camera uses a standard C-mount lens interface which works with a wide range of microscopes and lenses. It can be mounted directly to C-mount photo ports, or coupled with a C-mount reduction lens for use with 23mm or larger ocular tubes. Because of its compact design, the HD182-BI can be mounted to compound and stereo microscopes without adding a lot of weight. Real-Time Video Connect the camera to any HDMI-equipped monitor or television to view live video in 1080p resolution at a smooth 60fps. The camera's integrated software allows you to fine-tune exposure, color, and other settings, capture videos and still images, and perform measurement functions. A USB mouse is included to navigate the on-screen controls. Low-Light Performance Using Sony's STARVIS* technology, the camera's back-illuminated CMOS sensor is capable of capturing detail with limited illumination, making it an excellent option for use with inconsistent lighting or low-emission applications such as fluorescence and darkfield. These back-illuminated sensors have shown remarkable flexibility and a superior ability to boost the signal with limited noise. Secure Digital There's no need for a computer. This camera records directly to Secure Digital media. These universal, high performance cards make it easier than ever to record and share.
