OM157 40X-1000X Semi-Plan Laboratory Compound Microscope

Compound Microscope Digital Camera

The OptixCam Summit K2 series digital microscope camera turns your optical microscope into a fully-functional digital microscope. Plug it into your computer’s USB port and it automatically powers up. Your workflow becomes more user-friendly, more ergonomic, and perfect for collaboration. 

This digital microscope camera lets you sit back and study samples on screen, without hunching over the eyepiece. In routine life science applications, you capture remarkably clean images that are ideal for cataloging and recording for posterity. It allows you to save and document images in industrial or medical reports, with easy annotation right from the included software. It transforms biology classes into launchpads for exploration by enabling students to see and share easily.

A dynamic range of 1.3 to 14 megapixels for big deals and small details.

The details matter to us just as much as they matter to you. That’s why we carry a range of versatile microscope cameras with multiple resolution options, making these cameras easy on the eyes and easy on your budget (if that’s what you need) too.

Summit K2 cameras range from:

• Low (1.3) megapixels, suitable for hobbyists, classrooms, and other applications where affordability, durability, and good resolution are most important.

• Medium (3.1) megapixels, suitable for biological research and industrial applications that require an excellent mix of visibility and affordability.

• Mid (5.0) megapixels, suitable for industrial inspectors and life science researchers who have departmental budget constraints, but need sharp images and easy functionality. 

• High (10) megapixels, suitable for healthcare professionals and researchers with a greater budget who require high resolution image projection in large-format applications.

• Advanced (14) megapixels, suitable for complex microbiological applications where performance and image quality are all that matters.

Built around the superior Aptina MT9T001 CMOS color sensor.

Rigged with high-resolution Aptina MT9T001 CMOS color sensors, Summit K2 digital microscope cameras deliver vivid and vibrant images, even in low-light environments, and allow you to manipulate images while maintaining true-to-life colors and textures.

Compatible with PC and MAC. 

Connect and power up easily through USB 2.0, no external power required, and dig into your work with the included K2View software (PC only). It’s built to make your workflow easier, with features like:

• Geometric measuring using lines, circles, and angles that are scaled to your magnification level in real time.  

• Notation, so all the important info you need to package with your images is right where it needs to be.

• Anti-flicker, so images look sharp under a variety of ambient lighting.

• Time-lapse photography so you can easily batch images together, tracking changes as you go.

• Auto/manual exposure, making it easy to get the image you need.

• White balance control, so the images you capture look the way they should.

• Storage in JPG, BMP, TIFF, TGA, and RAW format, so images can be used across a range of platforms.

The cameras also work just fine with your existing TWAIN, DirectX, and Image Capture (MAC only) software. You can also download K2View from our site. 

Excellent image reproduction with 0.5x Reducing Lens.

No fuss, just focus. Many competitively priced digital microscope cameras magnify the image through the eyepiece, so the image you see on your monitor doesn’t accurately represent what you see looking down the scope with your own eyes. That’s not good enough for you. We counter that by including a 0.5x reducing lens. This prevents over-magnification and produces real images. You can trust what you see. 

Summit K2 series digital microscope cameras already work in applications spanning industries. They can be retrofitted onto most existing optical microscope models, and come standard on Omano digital microscopes. 

They add some swagger to your passion for microscopy and make sharing a lot easier. You don’t have to go on your microscopy adventures alone anymore.
