MAGUS CLM30 Digital Camera

The MAGUS CLM30 digital camera is designed for use in fluorescence and darkfield microscopy techniques. The camera is equipped with an 8.3MP sensor and produces realistic images at a resolution of 3840x2160px. The camera is recommended for use with 4x, 10x, 20x, and 40x objectives. When working with low magnification objectives, the camera will allow you to see finer details. Video is recorded at 45fps or 70fps depending on its resolution: They are smooth with soft and subtle transitions between frames. The movement of the sample is displayed in real time with no delays. The camera makes it easy to work with objects that are moving and is suitable for classroom demonstrations. The camera is equipped with a USB3.0 interface. The data transfer speed is 10 times faster than USB2.0 cameras. The high-speed camera is recommended for professional laboratories, research, or university training.

Sensor

The camera is equipped with a SONY Exmor backlit color CMOS sensor. This technology increases light sensitivity and improves camera performance in low-light conditions. A color sensor has less light sensitivity than a monochrome one, but it is absolutely necessary for studies that identify and classify objects based on color. The 1/1.2" sensor with 2.9x2.9µm pixel provides light sensitivity of 5970mV with 1/30s. To achieve the maximum field of view without distortion, we recommend using an adapter with a magnification of 0.75x to 1x.

Peltier element

The camera sensor may overheat during prolonged use. This causes thermal noise in the image, which significantly reduces the image quality. To eliminate this negative effect, the camera is equipped with a two-stage thermoelectric module (Peltier element). It sets the temperature to 42°C below room temperature and creates optimal conditions for the sensor to run for long periods of time without heating up. Therefore, the camera is suitable for long shutter speeds: The image is clear without thermal noise.

Software features

The camera uses software to display images on an external display, take photographs, record video, edit images, and measure linear and angular dimensions of samples and their structures. Before taking measurements, the software must be calibrated for each objective with a calibration slide.

Installation

The camera is mounted on the microscope in the trinocular tube/camera port using the C-mount adapter (included).

Key features:

• For fluorescence and darkfield microscopy with 4x, 10x, 20x, and 40x objectives
• 8.3MP resolution: When observing with low magnification objectives, the camera will allow you to see finer details
• 45fps and 70fps at 3840x2160px and 1920x1080px resolutions for observing moving samples, recording video, and moving the preparation without jerks and delays
