WHY WE ARE A BETTER SOURCE THAN MICROSCOPE COMPANIES AND WHOLESALE DISTRIBUTORS FOR IMAGING PRODUCTS

THE WEB STORE IS MUCH MORE THAN A SHOPPING CART, IT IS ALSO A GREAT TOOL FOR FINDING THE RIGHT PRODUCT

FRAME GRABBER EVOLUTION AND WHY THEY STILL HAVE A ROLE IN DIGITAL IMAGING

CHOOSING A CAMERA FOR SCIENTIFIC IMAGING, FIREWIRE IEEE1394 OR USB 2.0?

THE EVOLUTION OF VIDEO MICROSCOPY AND IMAGE ANALYSIS

Digital Microscope Cameras

I-CUBE has been selling digital microscope, industrial, and machine vision cameras since 1995.  We carefully select only the BEST models that offer the HIGHEST performance for the LOWEST price.

Microscope Cameras are used for capture, analysis, and processing of brightfield, fluorescence, and other microscopy applications.  They offer features not found in industrial cameras - easy-to-use software, extensive camera control, cooling for long exposures, and higher sensitivity.

See our unique and popular Camera Selector Table below - with pricing!

IMPORTANT TECHNICAL ISSUES

  1. Color camera capture methods:  on our site, you will see cameras listed as color mosaic, 3-CCD color, and 3-Shot color.  Color mosaic cameras offer cost and speed advantages, but the only way to preserve the native resolution of the CCD chip is offered by the latter two methods.  See this article, or the condensed version.

  2. CCD vs CMOS sensor comparison:  CMOS cameras offer cost advantages over those with CCD sensors.  However, there are image quality considerations.  Click here for details.

  3. Higher spatial resolution does not necessarily mean better image quality:  photography guru Ken Rockwell wrote an article called "The Megapixel Myth" which you can link to by clicking here.
