AmScope's HD408U is a more cost-effective option in our HD line, bringing 4K Ultra HD resolution to your microscopy system. With four times the resolution of 1080p HD, this camera will provide sharper images with greater detail on 4K displays. Well suited for compound and stereo microscopes, the HD408U will provide real time video over HDMI to a monitor or television. Whether you're working in quality control or monitoring a long term experiment, you can watch with unrivaled clarity.
A powerful image capture system lies at your fingertips. The HD408U's internal recording system allows you to capture 4K videos and photos up to 8MP with the click of a mouse. The camera can record to Secure Digital media or a USB flash drive, eliminating the need for a computer. Built-in software provides image processing and measurement tools for a complete standalone experience.
The camera uses a standard C-mount interface to connect to a wide range of microscopes and lenses. For microscopes with 23mm photo ports, you can pair the camera with an optional 0.5X reduction lens to optimize the field-of-view.
Using an HDMI-compatible display, the camera can operate in standalone mode using built-in tools for capturing and editing images and video.
