Affordable Brightfield Imaging for Materials Science

Brightfield Imaging Out of the Box

Combining quality brightfield images with affordability, the LC35 digital microscope camera is an excellent value for materials science imaging. Complementing our microscopes, the LC35 camera is easily controlled using our camera software and has seamless support and upgradeability with our industrial microscopes.

Cost-Effective Brightfield Imaging

The camera enables you to capture brightfield images with the detail needed for routine imaging, inspection, and documentation.

3.5-megapixel CMOS sensor
Works well for many types of samples and observation conditions thanks to versatile exposure times and resolution modes
Displays your samples in their natural color tones, reducing the need for post-image-capture corrections
Navigate around your sample quickly and easily with an up to 40 fps frame rate to achieve precise focusing and fast image capture

Integrates Seamlessly with Olympus Imaging Systems

Easily integrate the LC35 microscope camera with an Olympus imaging system, including full microscope set up assistance, software support, and optical compatibility. Depending on your application, use the camera with OLYMPUS Stream™ or PRECiV™ image analysis software for intuitive, efficient operation.

Simple to Set Up and Start Using

Setting up the LC35 camera is simple. A single USB 3.1 cord enables a fast connection to your PC or laptop for power and high-speed data transfer—no AC adaptor is required. The camera can quickly be mounted to any light microscope using different C-mount adaptors.

When using the camera, the intuitive software makes it easy for users of any experience level to begin capturing images right away. With only a little training, you’ll quickly be able to use the camera to its full potential, including interactive measurements, commenting on images, archiving, and creating reports.
