Digital camera MAGUS CLM90

The MAGUS CLM microscope cameras are designed for use with fluorescence and darkfield microscopy techniques. The CLM90 model is monochrome, and the maximum image resolution is 3200x2200 px. The video frame rate depends on the resolution and can be 51.3 or 133.8 fps. The camera works effectively with 4x, 10x, 20x and 40x objectives, as it captures fine details better in combination with low-magnification objectives. It is equipped with a Peltier element that cools the sensor and maintains high image quality. The frame shutter produces undistorted images even when the object is moving. The captured result is output to a monitor via a USB 3.0 interface without any loss of quality. The camera is built for professional work and university training.

The camera contains a SONY Exmor CMOS sensor with a 1.1" diagonal and a pixel size of 4.5x4.5 μm. The back-illumination technology SONY used in its sensor increases light sensitivity: for this model it is 3354 mV at a shutter speed of 1/30 second. With the monochrome sensor you cannot distinguish the colours of the object, but it will make the image bright and high-contrast, which can be important when shooting in low-light conditions. To achieve the widest possible field of view, use the 1x adapter.

The Peltier element is a special thermoelectric module that maintains a temperature 42°C below room temperature. It is needed to cool the sensor in the camera. The sensor heats up during prolonged operation, which leads to thermal noise and degraded image quality. The Peltier element keeps the sensor temperature at an acceptable level, and image quality remains high.

Another feature of this model is the frame shutter. With its help, the signal from the diodes is read simultaneously. The resulting image is authentic and undistorted even when the object is moving.

The camera uses software that allows you to take photos and videos, process them, and measure the linear and angular dimensions of the object and its structures. Before measuring, calibrate the software for each objective using a calibration slide. You can connect the device to a computer via a USB 3.0 interface. It transfers data at high speed and maintains image quality when output to an external screen.

The camera is connected to the microscope via the trinocular tube. Use a C-mount adapter for mounting. Please note that this adapter may already be included in your microscope kit, depending on its specific model and configuration. Before purchasing a camera, we recommend checking the contents of your microscope kit and, if necessary, purchasing the appropriate adapters.
