Overview
Affordable Brightfield Imaging for Materials ScienceBrightfield Imaging Out of the BoxCombining 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
