A USB microscope camera puts the microscope image on a computer monitor or projector, so a whole class sees what one student sees, and staff can save images of slides for records and assessments in cell biology and histology classes. With the supplied 30 mm and 30.5 mm adapters it can also sit on a stereo microscope to record dissections, insects and plant parts. The 30 fps live stream keeps moving organisms such as protozoa smooth on screen.
Before measuring, image the supplied calibration slide (1 mm divided into 100) at each magnification to set a reference scale. Use automatic exposure for routine bright-field teaching, and switch to manual exposure, anywhere from 1 ms to 2000 ms, for dim samples. Keep the camera within its 0 to 60 °C operating range and away from damp storage.
ScienceLab (Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited), based in Ambala, Haryana, supplies this 2 MP USB 2.0 camera together with the microscopes and slides that labs pair it with. It is offered to schools, colleges, research institutes, dealers and importers in India and international markets. For company information, see the ScienceLab company profile.
