C2CMOS02100KPA Microscopy Camera
Product Introduction
The C2CMOS series features compact C-mount USB2.0 microscopy cameras with built-in hardware ISP image processing engines. Through MJPEG compression and dedicated decoding links, these cameras achieve high frame rates and stable transmission under USB2.0 (480 Mbit/s) bandwidth. Typical models can reach 30 fps at 5 MP/8 MP, while 12 MP models achieve 15–20 fps (model and settings dependent). The cameras comply with UVC (USB Video Class) protocol for out-of-the-box compatibility with third-party software, while also including ToupView/ToupLite software and cross-platform SDK support for convenient system integration and secondary development. Suitable for educational demonstrations, microscopy documentation, and general experimental imaging.

The 5 MP and 8 MP models reach up to 30 fps, while the 12 MP variant delivers up to 15 fps. ROI readout pushes frame rates even higher for rapid dynamic processes. The compression pipeline maximizes throughput without compromising visual fidelity.
Advanced Ultra-Fine Color Engine
A hardware-based ISP working with ToupTek’s Ultra-Fine color algorithm reproduces accurate color and fine detail. Automatic and manual exposure modes offer precise control over integration time, while automatic, manual, and ROI white balance keep color consistent in challenging scenes. The color fidelity suits pathology, material science, and other color-critical applications.
Comprehensive Advanced Image Corrections
Real-time dead-pixel removal, color mode switching, histogram adjustment, flat-field and dark-field correction, image flipping, and ROI video capture deliver professional image optimization. These advanced tools come standard across the series, giving users capabilities typically reserved for high-end scientific cameras. Automated control works alongside manual fine-tuning to cover diverse microscopy scenarios.
