1.2 Intended use
This camera is intended to be used for the acquisition of digital images, but not for
clinical diagnostic purposes.
1.3 Specifications
Properties of
the SC180
The SC180 is a CMOS color camera with a high frame rate. It was specially devel-
oped for acquisitions using light microscopy. The camera is of a compact design and
can be connected to all common types of light microscope by a C-mount. The ICC
profile technology guarantees an optimal color mapping.
Binning modes
The SC180 has several binning modes. In binning mode, the camera's CMOS
sensor combines neighboring pixels into pixel blocks. This results in a higher
sensitivity and a shorter processing time, but also in a lower resolution.
