  • User-friendly editing/processing software for Windows XP/Vista/7/8/10 with measuring, stitching and focus-stacking
  • View high-speed video while capturing high-resolution images
  • Fits four mounting sizes: 23mm, 30mm, 30.5mm, and C-mount

The MU503B is part of our high-speed camera line. With improved image-processing and USB 3.0 connectivity, this 5MP camera can achieve framerates of up to 101fps. The compact, all-metal design makes this a go-anywhere imaging solution. Deriving power from the USB connection, MU series cameras can be used at home, in a lab, or in the field. The industry-standard C-mount design allows this camera to be connected directly to C-mount photo-ports, or used in conjunction with an array of lenses and adapters to mount to virtually any popular microscope line.

With software available for Windows, Mac, and Linux, the MU series 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.
