SCMOS Series
Product Introduction
The SCMOS series represents a 23.2 mm standard eyepiece tube direct-insertion microscopy camera (S = Simple & Compact) with built-in reducer that proportionally reduces objective lens imaging to achieve better field-of-view to sensor matching, reducing vignetting while enhancing effective field utilization. Through 23.2→30 / 23.2→30.75 mm adapter sleeves, compatibility extends to additional educational and stereo microscopes, enabling rapid digital conversion of monocular and binocular microscopes.
The camera utilizes USB2.0 data connectivity with UVC (USB Video Class) driver-free protocol for plug-and-play compatibility with third-party software. Built-in hardware ISP and MJPEG high-efficiency compression achieve higher frame rates and stable transmission under 480 Mbit/s bandwidth (5MP/8MP typically reaching 30 fps, 12MP typically achieving ~15 fps, model and settings dependent). Supports automatic/manual exposure and white balance, ROI metering/windowing, and color and gamma/contrast parameter adjustment. Included ToupView/ToupLite software and cross-platform SDK facilitate rapid deployment and secondary development for educational demonstrations, experimental documentation, and general microscopy imaging.

Convenient Standard Eyepiece Tube Interface Design
Features a 23.2 mm standard microscope eyepiece tube interface design that can be directly inserted into microscope eyepiece tubes to capture clear images without additional adapters. Supports common 23.2→30 mm and 23.2→30.5 mm adapter rings, compatible with most educational microscopes, stereo microscopes, and other microscopy systems on the market. This design greatly simplifies the installation process, allowing users to complete digital upgrade of traditional microscopes within minutes, particularly suitable for bulk conversion and rapid deployment in school laboratories.
High-Quality CMOS Sensor Technology
Features Sony or Aptina high-quality CMOS sensors covering a wide range from 1.3 to 12 megapixels with clear and detailed imaging to meet different resolution requirements. Pixel sizes range from 1.45 µm to 3.0 µm, ensuring high resolution while considering light sensitivity. Even entry-level products can provide professional-grade imaging quality, ensuring that teaching demonstrations and routine research observation image requirements are fully satisfied.
Optimized USB 2.0 Transfer Technology
Uses MJPEG compression technology combined with hardware buffer design to achieve excellent transfer performance under USB 2.0 bandwidth limitations. 5 MP/8 MP resolution can achieve smooth 30 fps frame rates, and 12 MP resolution can also reach 15 fps, ensuring smooth video without frame drops. This optimized design allows good imaging experience even with older computer systems, reducing system upgrade costs, particularly suitable for bulk procurement needs of educational institutions.
Built-in Hardware ISP Image Optimization
Built-in ISP chip supports hardware noise reduction, color correction, gamma adjustment, and other functions, significantly improving color reproduction and detail performance. Supports auto/manual exposure switching, ROI area exposure and white balance, brightness/contrast/saturation real-time adjustment. Typical exposure range supports 0.1 ms to 2000 ms (some models 650 ms/1000 ms), adapting to different brightness environments. Integration of these professional functions enables entry-level products to provide high-quality imaging effects.
High-Reliability Structural Design
Features CNC aluminum alloy one-piece housing design with compact and stable construction. Natural heat dissipation design with no fans or mechanical vibration effectively prevents noise and vibration interference from traditional air cooling systems, ensuring imaging stability. Single-cable USB 2.0 power design is plug-and-play without requiring additional power supplies. This high-reliability design enables the camera to operate stably for extended periods, particularly suitable for teaching demonstrations and routine laboratory use, greatly reducing maintenance costs.
