10 Accessories and System Expansions | 10.13 Axiocam 202 Mono/208 Color

10.13.2.5 Axiocam Connected with Labscope/Matscope via a USB

Purpose

The camera is used to capture the microscopic image.

Function

The camera is powered by the microscope via the USB (Commercial Micro-D power) cable.

An optional monitor can be connected to the camera via an HDMI cable.

A PC or Windows Surface can be connected to the camera via a USB cable.

Functions such as the Light Manager, encoding, ECO mode and image enhancement are automat-
ically launched.

When a monitor is connected, live images can be viewed on the monitor display. Live images can
also be viewed on a PC or Surface and advanced features in Labscope/Matscope are available.

Functionality of the microscope:

Light Manager

Coded components

ECO mode

Image enhancement

Observe live images

Record and save images via software

One-key fluorescence (this works only with Axiolab Bio-TL/FL)

Advanced features in Labscope/Matscope
