12 MP color camera for detailed, economical microscope imaging over USB 2.0.

The GT 12 is a compact 12 MP color CMOS camera for everyday microscope imaging. On-camera graphics acceleration raises the frame rate available over USB 2.0 while keeping the original image output, giving 15 fps at 4000 × 3000. The bundled acquisition and analysis software handles capture, processing, measurement and reporting, with automatic exposure and white balance.

Key Features

  • Sony color CMOS sensor: 4000 × 3000 (12 MP), 1.34 µm pixels, 7.77 mm diagonal
  • Graphics acceleration delivers 15 fps at full resolution over USB 2.0 without altering the original image output
  • Color algorithms tuned for color accuracy on biological samples and for strong metal reflections in industrial inspection
  • Software covering capture, processing, measurement and reporting, with automatic exposure and automatic white balance
  • SDK for C, C++, C#, DirectShow and TWAIN; up to 4 cameras can run simultaneously via the SDK
  • Standard C-mount, 2 W power consumption, 68 × 68 × 42.5 mm, 236 g

Typical Applications

  • Pathology imaging on biological microscopes
  • Biological microscopy of plant and insect specimens
  • Stereo microscopy of objects such as coins
  • Basic microscope imaging and documentation
