This digital camera (USB 2.0) is professionally designed for microscopes. It works perfectly with all types of optical microscopes (Biological, Stereo and metallurgical, etc.). The images of the observed specimen or sample can be accurately displayed and captured on the computer screen. The included advanced application software allows for simple and convenient manipulation of the captured images from the microscope!

Included with each EM500M digital microscope eyepiece camera is a copy of the advanced application software enabling you to "capture" either a photograph, video or time-lapsed video with a simple click! The software allows for accurate measurement and “power point” features to be applied to the captured image. These images can then be saved or sent over the internet in real time. The EM500M employs a revolutionary, fully coated; MTF (Modulation Transfer Function) based optical system for improved image flatness and contrast. The images are bright and distinct even at the periphery of the field of view. It offers excellent performance when combined with the plan-achromatic objective. It is specifically designed for matching microscope features, such as the wide field of view of eyepiece WF10X-18mm and the par-focalization objective. The EM500M displays and captures images in high quality true color and when properly grounded the camera’s metal body ensures effective anti-interference. The EM500M is simply inserted directly in the ocular-tube or the photo-tube and with the included adaptors is also workable on a stereomicroscope.
