BlueBox 4K

BlueBox 4K  
The BlueBox 4K camera is the next-generation live-view imaging-system with 4K resolution(Video) at 30 FPS. It comes with Sony Exmor CMOS sensor with high sensitivity, low dark current and no smear achieved through the adoption of R, G and B primary colour mosaic filters.

The camera uses a standard C-mount interface for maximum compatibility with various microscopy-systems. It can be used as a stand-alone recorder when used with an HDMI monitor or television, or live-streamed to a PC via USB for image-capture and video-recording.
Hardware 3D denoising, sharpness and tone mapping control functions greatly improve the image and video quality.
The included BMS_pix3 Windows software offers image-development and measurement tools, as well as advanced compositing features such as image-stitching and extended-depth-of-focus. With the ability to calibrate scales at multiple magnifications, the software can be used for multi-level inspection. For Mac and Linux, there is a BMS_pix3 lite version of the software which can capture video and still images, and includes limited processing features.

The BlueBox 4K camera is intended to be used for the acquisition of digital images from the stereo microscope, biological microscope or online interactive teaching.
