Using Industrial Microscope Camera having panasonic CMOS sensor.

#1 Post by Dr.Karan » Wed May 04, 2022 3:31 pm

Hello everyone from India, I cannot find the answer to my query in the Forum.
I am looking for a cheap alternative to microscope camera,
I came across Eakins 48 mp CMOS camera which can be paired with a 0.5x reduction optics c mount (Ithink that is better than 0.35x correct me if i am mistaken)
The camera costs a 100 us $ and it boasts of 4k video at 30 fps and 1080p video at 60 fps. It is actually used for PCB repair and Board and chip repair.
I plan to Make Histopathology teaching videos using the microscope , and also plan to use it to teach during live video sessions. Kindly help me out with a few queries:
1) What can i expect image quality wise?
2) How will the video performance be?
3) Will i get better performance than my current setup(which is a redmi note 3 16mp camera paired with a 10x eyepiece and mounted on the trinocular port)
4) Are there any measuring softwares for such microscopes.

all your valuable input will be very appreciated. thanks in advance.
