Mighty Cam 3.0 from Aven Lifts Microscopy into a New Era

ANN ARBOR, Mich. - Aug. 6, 2015 - PRLog -- A new USB 3.0 camera from Aven, Inc. lets any microscope be upgraded for dramatically faster imaging and video recording.

    Mighty Cam 3.0 captures up to 45 frames per second, more than twice the rate of earlier-generation USB devices. Advanced speed makes it ideal for applications that benefit from reduced image lag times, such as industrial testing, biomedical research, scientific documentation and analysis, health care and technical education or photography.

    The five-megapixel CMOS camera attaches easily to any scope with a C/CS adapter ring and plugs into a computer or monitor with the USB 3.0 cable.

    High-speed imaging is just one Mighty Cam 3.0 advantage. It also displays images more rapidly, with a file transfer rate of up to 5 gigabytes per second – ten times faster than USB 2.0.

    “These improvements from our Mighty Cam USB 2.0 bring meaningful workflow efficiencies,” says Michael Shahpurwala, president of Aven, a global optical equipment supplier. "USB 3.0 technology opens a new era, and cameras are among the peripherals that have improved significantly.”

    As an added benefit, Aven’s new model includes ezMeasure software that lets Windows 7 or 8 users measure, annotate, record and interpret data. The program helps create reports with images, analysis and raw data. Operators can measure distances in millimeters or inches, save multiple settings and connect two cameras at a work station for live, side-by-side comparisons.

    The 1/2.5” CMOS sensor delivers true color fidelity in varied lighting. “Its low noise and high sensitivity are well-suited for professionals in scientific and technical settings,” says Shahpurwala.

    Aven’s Mighty Cam 3.0 supports TWAIN and DirectShow multimedia interfaces. The frame rate is 14 FPS at full resolution (2592 x 1944), increasing to 30, 36 or 45 at three lower-resolution settings.

    The company’s extensive line of optical accessories for microscopy also include a Mighty Cam CCD model for demanding light and color challenges (also with ezMeasure), two VGA color cameras and two HDMI color cameras.
