Back-illuminated digital color CMOS camera. The sensor is characterized by low noise and increased light sensitivity (462 mV at 1/30 s). The camera produces detailed, bright images even in low-light conditions. Used for brightfield or darkfield studies with 4x, 10x, and 20x objectives. The MAGUS CDF70 camera helps achieve a high level of detail even when observing moving objects.

The camera's maximum resolution is 5440x3648 px. At this resolution, the frame rate is 20 fps. Lower resolutions with higher frame rates can be selected: 2736x1824 px (48 fps) or 1824x1216 px (58 fps). At these resolutions and frame rates, the camera is used to observe moving objects. The transition between frames is smooth, with no delays, making it easy to observe and display an object to an audience.

The MAGUS CDF70 camera is installed on the trinocular tube or the optical tube of a microscope in place of the eyepiece. In either case, a C-mount adapter of the correct diameter is required, as well as adapter rings for installation on the eyepiece tube. Note that the C-mount adapter may already be included with the microscope; however, availability depends on the specific model and configuration. Before purchasing a camera, we recommend checking the contents of the microscope package and then, if necessary, purchasing the appropriate adapters. Once installed on the microscope, the camera connects to a computer via a USB 3.0 port with a data transfer rate of 5 Gbps.

Before use, install the drivers and MAGUS View software included in the package on the computer. The software is required for all camera functions: viewing images on a monitor, capturing photos and videos, processing, etc. The program must be calibrated for each objective using a calibration slide (optional accessory).
