Key Features

  • 18MP high-speed USB 3.0 digital camera captures still images and streams live videos on your computer
  • 0.55X Reduction Lens for Nikon Microscopes
  • User-friendly software is compatible with Windows 8.1/10/11, Mac OS X, and Linux
  • Sophisticated software for Windows offers editing, processing and advanced features including Stitching, EDF and measurement functions
  • Linux and Mac software records video and still images, with controls for exposure and color

The MU1803 is part of our high-speed camera line. With improved image-processing and USB 3.0 connectivity, this 18MP camera can achieve framerates of up to 32fps. The compact, all-metal design makes this a go-anywhere imaging solution. Drawing power from the USB connection, MU series cameras can be used at home, in a lab, or in the field. The industry-standard C-mount design allows this camera to be connected directly to C-mount photo-ports, and this package comes with a 0.55X reduction lens for Nikon microscopes, including: E100, E200, 50i, 55i, 80i, 90i, Ni series, Ti series, SMZ800, SMZ1000, and SMZ15000.

With software available for Windows, Mac, and Linux, the MU series is a multi-platform imaging solution. The included Windows software offers image-development and measurement tools, as well as advanced compositing features such as image-stitching and extended-depth-of-focus. With the ability to calibrate scales at multiple magnifications, the software can be used for multi-level inspection. Independent preview and capture resolutions allow you to view high-speed video while simultaneously capturing high-definition images. For Mac and Linux, there is a lite version of the software which can capture video and still images, and includes limited processing features.
