Brief description of the camera system
The AxioCam ERc 5s CMOS camera is intended as a camera for connection to
microscopes and produces photos with a size of up to 5 megapixels. The image data
can be
•
saved to a memory card (stand-alone operation),
•
immediately viewed on a connected monitor, or
•
immediately displayed via the configuration program and processed further on
a PC using the AxioVision programs (LE or full version).
Various standard analog and digital data interfaces make it possible to connect the
camera to different output devices for co-observation or recording.
The camera quality is configured and optimized by means of settings in the
configuration program supplied. This ensures that the settings are applied during
stand-alone operation – without connection to a PC.
Purpose
The AxioCam ERc 5s is a microscope camera that is suitable for use as an accessory
for educational and routine microscopy in laboratory environments and for use by
trained laboratory personnel.
•
The camera must be permanently connected to Carl Zeiss light microscopes
or suitable light microscopes of other manufacturers by means of suitable
adapters.
•
The camera must be connected to microscope ports intended for this purpose; it
must not be connected to the eyepiece.
•
The camera is not suitable for fluorescence microscopy.
•
The camera is configured and controlled by means of the PC software supplied,
which also allows the photos to be further processed and saved.
•
The camera can be connected to co-observation and recording devices by
means of various standardized data interfaces. Only pre-fabricated, standard
connection cables may be used.
