MAGUS CLM microscope cameras are designed to capture fluorescence light and darkfield. CLM30 provides a colour image with a resolution of 3840x2160 px (at 45 fps) or 1920x1080 px (at 70 fps). As a result, the researcher gets high-quality material: the object is clearly visible, and the video frames transition smoothly. This is important when the object under the objective is moving. The 8.3 MP sensor resolution allows you to use the camera with 4x, 10x, 20x, and 40x objectives: the device can show finer elements with more detail. The built-in USB 3.0 interface transfers data at high speed when connected to a computer. The high-tech characteristics of the device make the camera ideal for professional research work and university-level teaching.
Using the digital camera »
The camera is equipped with a colour CMOS SONY Exmor sensor with a diagonal of 1/1.2''. The sensors SONY use backside illumination technology, which makes the camera's light sensitivity 5970 mV at a shutter speed of 1/30 second. The pixel size of the CLM30 model is 2.9x2.9 μm. A high-quality colour image is obtained, even when working under fluorescent light with low-magnification objectives. The widest field of view without distortion will be achieved with an adapter with a magnification of 0.75–1x.
Another feature of this model is the built-in Peltier element (thermoelectric module). During prolonged operation, the sensor heats up. This leads to thermal noise in the image quality. The Peltier element maintains a temperature 42°C below room temperature and cools the sensor so that it can be used for long periods and at a low shutter speed.
The camera works with its own software, which allows you to take photos and videos, process the results, and measure the linear and angular dimensions of the object and its structures. Before measuring, calibrate the device for each objective. The ability to output images in real time to an external screen is useful if you need to demonstrate your observations to an audience.
The camera is mounted in the trinocular tube of the microscope and connected to it via a C-mount adapter. Please note that this adapter may already be included in your microscope kit, depending on its specific model and configuration. Before buying a camera, we recommend checking the contents of your microscope kit and, if necessary, purchasing the appropriate adapters.
