FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

For this application we recommend the BRESSER Erudit DLX 40-1000x microscope in combination with a USB camera, e.g. the BRESSER MikroCam 1.3 MP. This solution offers better image quality and flexibility than a simple LCD microscope.

If you want to identify bacteria, it is usually more useful to create a culture. Microscopes are generally only sufficient to determine whether the bacteria are, for example, spherical or rod-shaped.
The Barlow lens is already installed in the eyepiece tube on many devices. It can be pulled out at the upper ridge to use the zoom function.
Possible causes:
 
  • Sample too thick / unsuitable: Use thin samples or fixed smears.
  • No cover glass or incorrect thickness: Objectives are optimized for cover glasses.
  • Condenser incorrectly adjusted: Do not open the diaphragm too far – otherwise contrast will be low.
  • Magnification too high: Rule of thumb: maximum 1000 × objective aperture. Example: With a 40x objective with aperture 0.65, the limit is about 650x.

Product information "BRESSER MikroCam II 20 MP 1'' Microscope Camera"

The BRESSER MikroCam II 20 MP 1’’ microscope camera is the professional solution when it comes to microscope imaging.

This camera has a big 1’’ sensor (image area 13.06 x 8.8 mm); this is the biggest sensor of the MikroCam camera range. With this camera it is possible to document roughly the same field of view as it can be seen through the eyepiece (e.g. when using a 10x / 22mm). Other models will cover only 50% or less of the eyepiece field of view.

The Sony IMX183 CMOS-sensor is very sensitive and has extremely low image noise, which makes this camera especially suitable for contrast methods like dark field or phase contrast.

The MikroCam Lab II software comes with a wide range of professional functions, e.g. measurements in live view (calibration slide needed), mosaic, Focus-Stacking (for improved depth of field). All automatic functions (exposure time, gain, white balance etc) can be adjusted manually as well.

Due to the big sensor size the camera will not work with all microscope models. It might be possible that the optics will not illuminate the full sensor, so you experience vignetting. Usually this can be resolved by using the optional 1x optical adapter (item no. 5914001).

Please note that this camera model is not suitable for the stereo microscope BRESSER Science ETD-201. It will cover only a small field of view.

Practical set consisting of the MikroCam PRO HDMI Autofocus and a 13.3" monitor that can be mounted directly on the camera. It is ideal for presentations and documentation. The camera features a C-Mount connection. Therefore, an adapter may be required.The Microscope Camera in DetailThe BRESSER MikroCam PRO HDMI Autofocus impresses with its excellent image quality combined with user-friendly operation. It delivers the microscope image live and without delay as an HDMI signal with Full HD resolution to a monitor or television. An optional 11'' HDMI monitor (Art. No. 5914110) can be mounted directly on the camera and provides brilliant and high-contrast images. Due to its very high light sensitivity, good image quality is ensured even in low light. This model is therefore particularly recommended for darkfield or phase contrast.The autofocus allows optimal focusing of the camera without using the microscope's focus wheels. This ensures parfocality on various trinocular microscopes. The focusable range extends from the 0 position, which corresponds to the C-Mount distance, through focusing up to 5.4 mm forward, thus also reaching the CS-Mount distance, and additionally up to 10.6 mm inward to cover an even larger range. Besides autofocus, the camera can also be focused manually via mouse. Focus adjustment to a specific area is also possible.The camera functions are operated via mouse directly on the on-screen menu. Measurements can be performed via the on-screen menu, turning your microscope with the MikroCam Pro HDMI Autofocus into a fully functional digital measuring microscope.The MikroCam PRO HDMI Autofocus offers a wide range of applications, including:DocumentationEvaluationAnalysisPresentationQuality controlAutomationMachine visionThis makes the MikroCam PRO Autofocus an excellent industrial camera with a very good price-performance ratio.Additionally, the camera can provide the microscope view in a wireless network via a WiFi module. When connected via HDMI, images and videos can be recorded directly onto an SD card (not included). However, a USB connection to a PC is not provided for this model. For this, we recommend the MikroCam Pro HDMI model 5914180.MICROSCOPE CAMERA FEATURESHDMI connection for monitor or televisionBrilliant image reproduction in Full HD via HDMI (60 frames/sec) or WiFi (up to 25 frames/sec)Measurement function via on-screen menu (*calibration requires object micrometer Art.

The screen delivers brilliant images without artefacts, as the display has the same resolution as the camera's output image. With the set of MikroCam and HDMI display, almost any trinocular microscope with camera connection can be upgraded to a digital microscope. This allows observation independently of a PC.The size of the display is optimally chosen so that the microscope user can continue to use the microscope as usual and simultaneously view the image on the monitor. The display provides optimal image quality with a wide viewing angle of 178°! This allows several people to view the image without loss of quality.The microscope camera image is displayed on the HDMI screen always without delay and with a high refresh rate of 60 FPS. Display via HDMI microscope camera on an HDMI monitor is therefore usually of better quality than using a USB camera on a laptop or PC. This is especially advantageous when working under microscopic control.Many users also benefit from improved ergonomics when viewing the image on the HDMI display. Especially higher magnifications with their high numerical aperture can be uncomfortable for eye problems such as floaters (vitreous opacities). Digital viewing can provide relief here.The display can be powered with the included Y-cable using the same power supply as the camera. A suitable short, angled HDMI cable is also included to avoid cable clutter at the workplace. Mounting on a MikroCam PRO or MINI is done using two screws. Screws and tools are included.DISPLAY FEATURES16:9 Full HD monitor with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixelsActive area: 16.5 x 29.4 cmEasy mounting directly on a MikroCam PRO or MINIWide viewing angle (178°)No separate power supply requiredDISPLAY SCOPE OF DELIVERY13.3" displayHDMI cableY-cable for power supply via camera power supplyMounting screws (2 pieces)Allen keyUser manual
