The MU153-GS is a highly-sensitive, high-speed global-shutter camera designed for low-light microscopy applications including fluorescence. The 1.5MP sensor favors speed and sensitivity over resolution. Able to capture faint signals, the sensor can rapidly produce images with a maximum framerate of 164fps at full resolution, and 320fps at lower resolution. Using a global shutter, the camera does not suffer from rolling-shutter distortion. This will be beneficial when imaging moving specimens.
With software available for Windows, Mac, and Linux, this camera package is a multi-platform imaging solution. The included Windows software offers image-development and measurement tools, as well as advanced compositing features such as image-stitching and extended-depth-of-focus. With the ability to calibrate scales at multiple magnifications, the software can be used for multi-level inspection. Independent preview and capture resolutions allow you to view high-speed video while simultaneously capturing high-definition images. For Mac and Linux, there is a lite version of the software which can capture video and still images, and includes limited processing features.
