Welcome to USB Microscope Camera

Looking for a USB computer connected digital microscope camera for capturing still jpg images as well as viewing live full motion video? You have come to the right internet store for microscopy related cameras. There are many types of digital microscope cameras on the market. They range from the inexpensive to the high end. There are cheap cameras with low resolution as well as high quality cameras that fit into the ocular of the microscope. This type of camera is called an eyepiece camera. The price naturally varies and increases significantly with the quality of the resultant microscopic image. The most widely used and recommended digital still image microscope camera is the eyepiece camera. They are simple to use. You can insert them into the top trinocular port of the microscope if this port exists on your equipment. If your microscope is only a binocular or monocular, then you have no choice but to insert the USB camera into the eyepiece opening.

The main disadvantage of doing this is you are unable to view the specimen in the eyepieces at the same time you have the camera attached.

There are some types of USB microscope cameras that attach via the trinocular port using a c-mount adapter. The c-mount adapter is made for attaching a CCD video camera for live motion video. Some types of USB cameras mount this same way. They also take digital still images that need to be captured on a computer. You can also use them for displaying live motion video for viewing as well as recording.

In the past, a microscopist had few options for viewing and capturing images. With the digital age, whole new lines of products for microscopy imaging have appeared. There are also cameras now that attach to the c-mount adapter and take the image to a computer’s LCD screen, but bypass the computer. This allows the video frame rate to be really fast which is best for video microscopy.
