We are excited about the OptixCam Summit series of USB microscope cameras. They have managed to pack a range of essential features into a professionally designed microscope camera while maintaining affordable prices. As a result, we recommend these cameras as part of our BEST VALUE rankings.

First and foremost, the OptixCam Summit Series provide the best image quality that we have seen at this price point. In addition, they provide remarkably accurate color resolution as well as a large color palette for improved color resolution and sensitivity. 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 propositon for everyday users in Industrial Inspection, Education, Research and Hobbyists.

OptixCam Summit 1.3 Megapixel
The OptixCam Summit 1.3 megapixel includes a Micron MT9M131 1/3 inch sensor with a genuine 10 frames/second refresh rate for live imaging at 1280x1024 pixels and up to 25 frames/second at 640x480 pixels. Critically, they are 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. An included slide micrometer and step-by-step calibration instructions make for quick and easy calibration at a given magnification level. Simply center the calibration slide under your desired objective and bring it into sharp focus. Capture and save the image, then follow the calibration steps found under Measure / Calibrate on the Image Process menu.

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, color enhancement and intuitive image capture and storage, among other benefits.

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 Summit 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.

OptixCam Summit series are also available in 3.0 megapixel  , 5.0 megapixel, and 9.0 megapixel versions.
