Minicam CCTV Units
The Brunel Minicams are CCTV colour cameras that are little larger than a microscope eyepiece, yet give an excellent picture that can be taken directly to a television set, monitor, VCR recorder or to a lap top or PC. Computer imaging can be either video clips or “image grabbed” still frames. These compact versatile units fit into the eyetubes of all monocular, binocular and trinocular compound microscopes in place of the eyepiece. Additionally using the Minicam adapter, the units will also fit all the stereomicroscopes in our range and most others. The Minicams are 1/3 inch format cameras measuring just 60 mm in length and weighing just 75 grams which makes the units ideal for insertion into the inclined monocular eyetubes of our more budget priced microscopes such as the Wedmore, Westbury SP30 and the Winchester SP50, where the weight of CCTV cameras could cause stability problems.
The Brunel Minicams are available as analogue units that are suitable for TV viewing
and USB 2.0 digital units that can produce images directly on a lap top or PC. The
DCM series incorporate a CMOS chip and are ideal for brightfield microscopy and
the and the MDC series a CCD chip which is preferred for darkfield and fluorescence
microscopy. Both series are also available as C-
