MAGUS CLM DIGITAL CAMERAS
EN
Never look at the sun, a bright light source, or laser beam through the camera. It can cause permanent
damage to your eyes.
MAGUS digital cameras are designed to be used with all types of microscopes: biological, fluorescent, metallurgical,
polarizing, and stereoscopic. The image of the observed object is displayed on a PC screen. The camera software helps
you view, save, and edit captured images and video.

1. Install the MAGUSView software on your computer from the USB flash drive (included).
2. Connect the camera to your computer using the USB cable.
3. Run the MAGUSView software. The camera will be added in the list of connected devices.
4. Select the camera to start operation.

– CLM cameras are suitable for the darkfield and luminescence microscopy techniques. They are highly light-
sensitive and low-noise.
– There are 2 color and 3 monochrome cameras available in the CLM series. A color camera is suitable if color
is important for identifying or classifying an object of study under the microscope. The monochrome camera
is suitable for low-light performance, especially in fluorescence microscopy. On average, the light sensitivity and
frame rate of a monochrome sensor is 2–4 times higher than the same sensor in color sensors.
– There are 5 cameras in the CLM series with resolutions ranging from 1.7 to 8.3 MP. The higher the magnification of
the objective is, the lower the number of pixels that will be required. The extra pixels will have no effect on the image
resolution. When working with objectives with a magnification up to 40x, however, go for a higher resolution camera.
Such a camera captures the details better.
– The frame rate ranges from 33 to 120 fps at the camera's maximum resolution. For studying moving objects, choose
a camera with a high frame rate.
– The sensor size is an important parameter for professional shooting. A larger sensor size offers several advantages:
cleaner image, more hues, and a larger field of view. The CLM series offers cameras with sensor sizes from 1/1.2" to 1.1".
– The larger the pixel is, the more light it collects, which means less image noise and the higher light sensitivity of
the camera. The CLM series features cameras with pixel sizes ranging from 2.9x2.9µm to 9.0x9.0µm. Larger pixels
capture more light, which is critical for observing objects using the luminescence and darkfield microscopy techniques.
– The CLM series has 1 camera with a rolling shutter and 4 cameras with a global shutter. A global shutter is recommended
for working in luminescence light or for shooting fast-moving objects. In other cases, rolling shutters are all you need.
– The camera outputs the image on the screen in real time. The camera's frame rate is high-speed, allowing you to
smoothly adjust focus when observing with the recommended objective.
– Detailed images with realistic colors are produced when the camera is paired with the right objective.
– The camera is mounted into the vertical tube or a side camera port of the microscope with the C-mount adapter
included in the microscope kit. The C-mount adapter (not included) and other adapter rings that match the tube
diameter (not included) are used for mounting the camera into the eyepiece. The magnification of the adapter
is matched to the size of the camera sensor. The main requirement for adapter optics is to provide a maximum field
of view without distortion.
– With the camera software, you can take photos, records video, and edit them. Once calibrated with a calibration
slide, the software allows for linear and angular measurements.
