Camera

There are two types of supported cameras. Industrial cameras and cameras for microscopy. Industrial cameras do not come with a general purpose microscopy software while microscope cameras do!

If you only want to do scanning, industrial cameras are the best choice, because you save approximately 1500 EUR compared to a microscope camera.

Currently, these camera vendors are supported:

Basler

- Basler Microscopy PowerPack cameras Ace 2.3MP Ace 3.2MP, Ace 5.0 MP (comes with an OEM version of an Olympus microscope image acquisition software)

- Basler industrial cameras with USB 3.0 and global shutter image sensors (no micro imaging application included)

IDS Imaging

- all industrial USB 3.0 / USB 3.1 cameras with global shutter sensor (no micro imaging application included)

Lumenera

- INFINITY2 series (except INFINITY2-3) (comes with Lumenera micro imaging application)

- INFINITY3 series (comes with Lumenera micro imaging application)

- INFINITY5 series (comes with Lumenera micro imaging application)

- all industrial USB 3.0 cameras with global shutter image sensors (no micro imaging application included)

ImagingSource

- all USB 3.0 cameras with global shutter sensors (basic micro imaging application included)

PointGrey

- all USB 3.0 cameras with global shutter sensors (except Blackfly S series) (no micro imaging application included)

Recommended camera depending on camera adapter*:

* these general recommendations are a rule of thumb. For specific scanning tasks, other combinations may produce better results or reduce scanning time significantly.
