The 5.0MP MU503-GS uses a global-shutter CMOS sensor, offering hybrid of CCD and CMOS designs. The global shutter removes the focal-plane distortion seen in rolling-shutter sensors, resulting in improved capture of motion. It has a high light-gathering efficiency, providing viable images with shorter exposure times in low-light applications. This camera would be best-suited for low-light applications, including fluorescence and dark-field.
The standard C-mount coupling allows the use of various lenes outside of microscopy-use. The included reduction lens allows connection to a microscope's photo-port or ocular-tube, ranging from 23mm to 30.5mm. It also maximizes the field-of-view by reducing the image to better fit the camera's sensor.
The included software for Windows, Mac, and Linux provides an imaging solution for photography and videography. The Windows (XP/Vista/7/8/10) version provides an extensive toolset for image-processing and measurements. A lite version of the application is provided for Mac and Linux.
