MAGUS CBF MICROSCOPE 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.

– CBF cameras are suitable for the brightfield microscopy technique. This affordable camera is equipped with an
Aptina sensor, and the others with SONY Exmor sensors with a backlight.
– There are 5 cameras in the CBF series with resolutions ranging from 3 to 21 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 21 MP scientific microscope camera on a 4/3" sensor works with
both high and low magnification objectives.
– The frame rate ranges from 13 to 59 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 CBF series offers cameras with sensor sizes
from 1/2" to 4/3".
– The larger the pixel is, the more light it collects, which means less image noise and the higher light sensitivity of
the camera. The CBF series features cameras with pixel sizes ranging from 1.25x1.25µm to 3.45x3.45µm.
– The camera outputs the image on the screen in real time. The camera's frame rate is high-speed, allowing you to
smoothly adjust the 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.
– The USB3.0 transfer speed is over 10 times faster than USB2.0. The image is displayed online on the PC monitor.
Such speed combined with 30 fps and higher frame rate transmits the image of moving objects without jerks and
delays, the focus adjustment is smooth even when working with a 100x objective.
