Key Features

  • 5.3MP back-illuminated CMOS camera
  • Higher quantum efficiency
  • Multi-platform software solutions
  • Includes calibration slide for on-screen measurements

The 5.3MP USB2.0 MU530-BI is part of our back-illuminated CMOS camera series. Back-illuminated CMOS sensors provide higher quantum-efficiency by moving the photo-diode layer in front of the electronic components, increasing photon-absorption. This translates to less image-noise and dark-current while maintaining high speeds.

The included software for Windows, Mac, and Linux provides an imaging solution for photography and videography. The Windows (8.1/10/11) version provides an extensive toolset for image-processing and measurements. A lite version of the application is provided for Mac and Linux.
