S3CMOS Series
Product Introduction
The S3CMOS series represents a 23.2 mm standard eyepiece tube direct-insertion microscopy camera with simple and compact structure (S = Simple & Small). It can be directly inserted into monocular/binocular educational microscope eyepiece tubes to capture intermediate images, enabling rapid digitization. The camera utilizes USB3.0 high-speed data connectivity for smoother preview and acquisition, making it suitable for classroom demonstrations, experimental documentation, and general microscopy imaging.
Through 23.2→30 mm and 23.2→30.75 mm adapter sleeves, compatibility extends to additional tube specifications and enables digital conversion of stereo microscopes. The built-in Ultra-Fine color processing engine performs demosaicing, auto exposure/gain control, one-click white balance, and color/gamma/contrast processing directly in the camera, reducing host system load while delivering natural and consistent color presentation. Included ToupView/ToupLite software and cross-platform SDK support facilitate system integration and secondary development.
