MAGUS CDF10 Digital Camera

The MAGUS CDF10 digital camera is designed for the brightfield and darkfield microscopy technique. It offers a low noise level and high light sensitivity. The camera is equipped with a 2MP sensor and delivers realistic Full HD images (1920x1080px) when observing with 40x, 60x, and 100x objectives. Video is recorded at 125fps at maximum 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 moving samples and is ideal for classroom demonstrations. The camera is equipped with the USB3.0 interface. The data transfer speed is 10 times faster than USB 2.0 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. The 1/2" sensor with 3.75x3.75µm pixel provides light sensitivity of 2350mV at 1/30s. To achieve the maximum field of view without distortion, we recommend using an adapter with a magnification of 0.4x to 0.6x. It is the most budget-friendly camera for darkfield microscopy.

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). To mount the camera in an eyepiece tube instead of an eyepiece, you will need a special C-mount adapter and adapters to fit the tube diameter (not included).

Key features:

• For brightfield and darkfield microscopy observations with 40х, 60х, and 100х objectives; it is the most affordable camera for darkfield microscopy with a large pixel sensor.
• The camera resolution is 1920x1080px: It is an ideal choice for displaying images on a Full HD monitor.
• 125fps for observing samples that are moving, recording video, and moving the sample without jerkiness or delays.
• SONY Exmor backlit color CMOS sensor provides low noise level and high light sensitivity even in low-light conditions. You will get clearer, brighter, and more color-saturated images.
• USB3.0 interface for fast, smooth data transfer
• Software with photo, video recording, editing, external display, linear and angular measurements
