To resolve these structures, a higher resolution camera is recommended. If you image a great deal using 2x and 4x objectives, you may want to consider our 3 chip HD-336U or even...

Connect the HD-336U camera to a computer with USB-3 inputs, open our proprietary MagicApp software, and direct the stored images to a file on your computer. Because these recordings are uncompressed HD images and require large...

In those situations where a higher magnification c-mount is required by the microscope configuration, we recommend an optical coupler between the camera and the c-mount to reduce the magnification back to...

Binning achieves a similar result without signal amplification, so noise remains unchanged. Testing under actual conditions will determine if reduced spatial resolution is acceptable.

The HD-336U implements a 2×2 matrix binning whereby four pixels becomes one larger pixel. The...
