Designed for fluorescence imaging and other low light environments, the OptixCam OCD-1.4-B is a new addition to the Optixcam stable of microscope cameras. It offers a high level of detail though the grey spectrum, above average refresh rates and has impressed us given the price level. It includes a protective aluminum case with mini-cell foam interior.

In common with all OptixCam microscope cameras, the OCD-1.4-B includes robust measuring software, fast refresh rates, full screen live imaging and user-friendly, image capture round out the embedded features. Finally, with four included mounts (C-Mount, C-Mount adapter for a 23.2mm eyepiece port, 30mm, 30.5mm collars for eyepiece ports), these cameras provide terrific flexibility in that they will fit almost any microscope.

For more sophisticated users, the OptixCam microscope cameras are also fully TWAIN and Microsoft DirectShow compatible for easy access from other imaging applications.

In short, they offer a well-designed package at an affordable price - a compelling proposition for everyday users in Industrial Inspection, Education, Research and Hobbyists.

OptixCam Pinnacle 1.4-B Monochrome
The OptixCam Pinnacle 1.4 megapixel includes a 1/2 inch Sony ICx205AL sensor with a genuine 15 frames/second refresh rate for live imaging at 1360x1024 pixels and up to 30 frames/second at 640x480 pixels. It is free from the smearing and blur that characterizes other systems in this price range. Refresh rates are comparable to the equivalent Moticam 1000 microscope camera.

We have found them to be of refreshingly, high quality and we recommend them as part of our BEST VALUE rankings.

OC View Software
The OCView software provides simple, accurate and easy-to-use controls for image capture, notation and measuring. Measuring capabilities include length, width, height, thickness, circumference, radius, angles and dot counts while notations can be easily made on any given image. The software also includes auto white balance and color enhancement among other benefits while image capture and storage is intuitive.

The software is also fully TWAIN and DirectX compatible, allowing simple integration with a wide range of commercial and scientific imaging software. Moreover, both TWAIN and DirectX plug-ins are independent of the main driver, which allows discreet control of the camera for these applications.

Accessories
All OptixCam Pinnacle Series microscope cameras include a range of thoughtful accessories. These include a calibration slide, C-Mount adapter for a smooth 23.2mm eyepiece port plus two collars to fit 30mm and 30.5mm eyepiece ports.
