Resolution Class

Resolution Class

This filter allows you to select a camera by the resolution (megapixels) of the camera. Unless you are doing high quality printing, additional resolution over 3 megapixels may be wasted since most computer monitors have maximum resolution of approximately 2 megapixels. Also, higher resolution typically involves slower refresh rates and, therefore, less effective live imaging.

Dino-Lite Stands

Dino-Lite Stands

For convenience, we have grouped Dino-Lite microscope stands into three categories based on our experience of customer applications.

General Purpose Stands: Popular among Hobbyists, Schools and Consumers. Some industrial applications.

Industrial Stands: Typically purchased by industrial and professional customers, these stands are bigger and stronger than those in General Purpose.

Specialty Stands: These stands include forensic applications, applications that require the stands to slide or roll and other more specialist requirements.

Camera Mount

Camera Mount

C-Mount is a standardized camera lens mount that measures 1" in diameter and 32 threads per inch.

Ocular Mounts enable a microscope camera to be attached to a microscope ocular via an adapter tube. Typically, used on a trinocular port, an ocular mount can also work on monocular and binocular microscopes either by removing an eyepiece or, less commonly, by mounting an adapter over the eyepiece.

Sensor Type

Sensor Type

CMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor) and CCD (charge coupled device) image sensors are two different technologies for capturing images digitally. Each has unique strengths and weaknesses, although there are no clear dividing lines.

CCD cameras have traditionally provided the highest image quality at the expense of system size and cost. This is beginning to change with the advent of S-CMOS sensors.

CMOS cameras offer more functions on the chip with lower power dissipation, but they have often required tradeoffs between image quality and cost.

As a result, most standard applications currently employ CMOS sensors with lower prices. More advanced applications, where highest image quality is essential, employ CCD sensors.

Camera Interface

Camera Interface

Firewire is a brand name for IEEE Serial Business Bus or in plain language, a higher speed alternative to USB. It is more commonly used in professional applications.

RCA Composite Video is an analog output designed for computer monitors and TVs. Look for acronyms such as NTSC or AVi.

USB 2.0 Most microscope cameras output via USB 2.0 - the standard for output to computers, cell phones and other personal devices.

USB 3.0 is a new 'Superspeed' USB connection, currently found on a limited range of products, whether microscopy or other.

VGA is also an analog signal for output to computer monitors or to HDTV rather than computers.
