GT 2.0 USB 2.0 Color Microscope Camera, 2 MP, 30 fps
GT 2.0Design Tools
Entry-level 2 MP color camera for routine microscope imaging over USB 2.0.
The GT 2.0 is a compact 2 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 30 fps at 1920 × 1080. Color presets for biological and industrial samples and the bundled acquisition and analysis software keep operation simple.
Key Features
- Sony color CMOS sensor: 1920 × 1080 (2 MP), 2.8 µm pixels, 6.23 mm diagonal
- Graphics acceleration delivers 30 fps at full resolution over USB 2.0 without altering the original image output
- Selectable color modes for biological samples (true color in pathology) and industrial samples (wide dynamic range on metal surfaces)
- Acquisition and analysis software with a simple, streamlined workflow
- 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
