5 MP color camera for routine biological and industrial microscope imaging over USB 2.0.

The GT 5.0 is a compact 5 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 29 fps at 2560 × 1920. Dedicated color processing for biological and industrial samples, together with measurement tools in the acquisition and analysis software, supports routine lab and inspection work.

Key Features

  • Sony color CMOS sensor: 2560 × 1920 (5 MP), 2.0 µm pixels, 6.52 mm diagonal
  • Graphics acceleration delivers 29 fps at full resolution over USB 2.0 without altering the original image output
  • Separate color algorithms for biological imaging (color fidelity) and industrial imaging (suppression of strong reflections)
  • Software with one-click capture plus measurement and image comparison tools
  • 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
