Review: A superb, easy to use, multi-operating system microscope research CCD camera. - As a professor of BIology I have bought many expensive CCD cameras during the past 20 years for taking pictures of biological cells through microscopes. Until this OMAX camera, none has cost less than $3000; most cost much more. They all worked beautifully but the control software of virtually all required the windows operating system. This Omax 5.0MP camera is the equal of all these research grade cameras except as regards ultra high sensitivity. The expensive cameras (whose large size chips are cooled) can make pictures of very dim epifluorescence light if you let them take exposures many seconds long. But in any bright field application where you can turn up the light, this camera is the equal of any ccd camera I have used even though all those cameras cost between 20 to 120 times as much to buy. The control software is very easy to use, complete in the degree of control it provides, works on Apple or WIndows computers. The apple software does not make time lapse movies with arbitrary times between frames. But you don't need that feature. Just use the OMAX camera to make a continuous movie (which may occupy a gigantic file size). The OMAX delivers mpg format movies which you can transcode to any format you prefer. Then use a program such as Apple's (free) iMovie to speed up the movie, perhaps making several successive speedups to achieve the timelapse framerate you want. If you turn up the microscope light bright enough to make 100 millisecond exposures, you will get 8 frames per second out of this camera at it's highest 5MP resolution and fastest scan rate. The OMAX camera provides a true C-mount female thread. Into that C-mount thread you can screw the lens tube OMAX provides which you then slide into any standard eyepiece socket (using adapter collars provided). It records accurate colors or greyscale pictures and movies. The only con of this camera is that if you buy one now, it is so good that it could infuriate you if you bought much more expensive cameras in the past.
Review: Good value for the money - This is a quite decent product and gives a good indication of what spending 10x more might do for you. The image quality is very usably good; but not great. The software features like extended depth of field work good, but not great (although it possibly could be a bit better with better technique - but this is due the camera's slow response time and the scope not being rock solid - like only solid - that is to say it is a bit fiddily - the more you fiddle, the better it gets - to a point.) The main problem (hence 4-star rather than 5) is that it reverses the image left-to-right and not up-and-down; so, for me, it is impossible to work from the image on the screen - that, and the response time is too slow. However, for the money, it is well worth it.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: is this good for making photographic prints from**
A: No question at all.  This camera is the same as a Professional level studio camera; it is just shaped into a form that fits onto a microscope.  The issue is not the camera, but the software you use to take and record the image.  Unfortunately, OMAX does not make the software needed to record the image.  There are a number of after-market software packages and apps available to use.  I would recommend that given your goals, you should make your decision on what software you wish to use, before you start commit yourself down any specific path.  I can pretty much guaranty that unless you truly enjoy spending many hours learning new software that you will not want to change software once you have started recording images.  For the moment, just trust me on this, when you get to the point of needing to get the software, please feel free to contact me and I will be glad to aid you in various avenues to traverse in order to determine which is best for your purposes.

**Q: I just ordered this - does it come with a tension screw so that it is immobilized when the usb cable is attached? appreciate an answer to this.**
A: The AmScope SM-4TPZ (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005MRDDCI/) does not have a setscrew (tension screw) in the camera mount so this camera just swings around on top of the microscope.

**Q: How long is the usb chord , is there a obtion for a slightly longer one.  is that chord easily available at any computer store ?**
A: Hello Librado,The USB cable for this microscope is approximately 6 feet long.  While it is possible to obtain a longer power cable at a computer store (it is a USB 3.0 A-to-B cable), we would caution against it as the camera may not work with longer cables due to signal deterioration along the USB cable.  The longer the cable is, the more likely this may happen.Thanks,OMAX

**Q: I purchased this camera and I have a very high speed computer.  Why is the frame rate lagging so much on my computer screen?**
A: Hello,

There are two primary limiting factors that have an impact on the frame rate of the camera: bandwidth of connection vs resolution of capture, and exposure time.  When connected to a USB 2.0 port, the frame speed of the camera is much lower than when connected to a USB 3.0 port simply because the bandwidth is lower.  Additionally, you will receive a higher frame speed with lower resolutions of capture (up to the maximums described in the listing).  The other primary limiting factor is exposure time.  The camera can provide images no faster than it can expose them.  If it takes 300ms to expose an image (0.3s), you will get no more than 3.3 frames per second (even if the maximum frame speed for the resolution is higher).  If you are receiving a lower frame rate than the described maximum at the resolution you're using, and you're using a USB 3.0 port, then it is likely that the exposure time is too long.  This can be remedied by using a brighter light (which would cause the automatic exposure to drive down the exposure time), or manually decreasing the exposure time in the software.

Thanks,
OMAX

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent microscope camera
*by S***A on February 17, 2018*

Very nice, well-built little camera. The software is intuitive and easy to use and gives you full control over color, contrast, etc. I use it on both a biological scope and a stereo scope and get excellent results -- great pictures. The 5Mp is a good size, capturing high-res photos without the files being overly huge in size. You can choose the file type for captures, of course, and even the compression factor for JPGs. The lowest JPG compression factor produces no noticeable compression artifacts, and even the most discerning of us should be satisfied with the results -- there is no real need to use a non-lossy format which produces much larger files. You also have control over where captures are saved and the choice of a few different file-naming conventions. Captures are quick and easy, allowing you to very quickly capture a series of images at different positions or slightly different focus points. Even if you want mainly to capture stills rather than video, the much better framerate of the USB3 version makes panning the sample much more pleasent to view. The mid-resolution setting for the 5Mp version is 1280x960, which is perfect for live-view on a typical monitor. Support is very good -- they are fast and ready to help. I highly recommend the OMAX series microscope cameras.
