Digital Microscope Camera SONY IMX183 IMX264 IMX178 IMX 206

The USB3.0 CMOS Microscope Camera series from Nanjing AMADA Instrument includes models MiChrome 5Pro, MIchrome 20, MIchrome 6, and MIchrome 16, each designed for high-resolution digital imaging in biological, metallurgical, and electronics inspection applications. These cameras feature Sony IMX sensors with global or rolling shutters, support for 12-bit ADC, and compatibility with Mosaic V2 software for real-time image processing and calibration.

  • Sony IMX sensors provide high sensitivity and low noise for consistent image quality across lighting conditions
  • Global shutter (MiChrome 5Pro) enables accurate real-time image stitching without motion distortion
  • Support for 12-bit ADC depth ensures detailed dynamic range and precise grayscale representation
  • Multiple resolution options (6MP to 20MP) match application needs from routine inspection to high-detail imaging
  • Compatible with Mosaic V2 software for automatic exposure, white balance, and flat field correction

Use guide

  • Select MiChrome 5Pro if real-time image stitching or motion-free capture is required
  • Choose MIchrome 20 for applications needing maximum image detail and large field of view
  • Use MIchrome 6 when high-speed capture is critical and resolution can be reduced via binning
  • Select MIchrome 16 for brightfield imaging where color accuracy and 16MP detail are essential

FAQ

What is the difference between global and rolling shutter?
Global shutter captures all pixels simultaneously, eliminating motion distortion; rolling shutter scans line by line, which can cause skew in fast-moving scenes.
Can I use these cameras with Linux or Mac?
Windows is fully supported; Linux and Mac compatibility is under development and not yet available for production use.
What software is included?
All models are compatible with Mosaic V2.0 software for Windows, which supports automatic exposure, white balance, and flat field correction.
What resolution should I choose for PCB inspection?
MIchrome 6 (6MP) or MIchrome 16 (16MP) are suitable depending on required detail and frame rate needs.
Do these cameras support external triggering?
Not specified in the source text. Contact sales for trigger input availability.
