The PixeLINK® line of cameras for microscopy, essentials edition, is ideal for your imaging needs. Designed to fit atop a microscope, these cameras are an excellent choice for many microscopy applications. Featuring a more limited software feature set than our PixeLINK® USB 2.0 Cameras for Microscopy, functionality includes image measurement and the ability to overlay an image such as a crosshair for ease of alignment. Also allowing for time lapse capture and a variety of video outputs (AVI, MPG, MPEG, and MOV), camera/software package is perfect for a variety of lab uses.
Each camera ships with a USB 2.0 dongle that allows the included μScope microscopy software to be used on any computer once connected. Simply install the software, plug in the activation dongle and you are ready to go.
