MPC 1.3 Megapixel Camera

A compact, scientific quality camera for machine vision or microscopy, the MPC 1.3 is fully DirectShow® and TWAIN™ compliant so it is compatible with the hundreds of programs which already support these popular standards.

The 1280 x 1024 pixel array updates at 14 frames/sec (30 frames/sec at 640 x 480 pixels.) A single cable simplifies connecting the camera to any desktop or laptop computer with a USB 2.0 port. Since the MPC is fully powered from the USB 2.0 port, it is the perfect choice for mobile imaging applications.

The MPC 1.3 camera includes Video ToolBox software, which provides full control over the camera, an easy-
to-use interface for image capture, and advanced labeling, annotation and measurement features. An optional developers kit interfaces to National Instruments’ LabVIEW® and provides an API for use with Visual Basic or C/C++.


MPC 2.0 Megapixel Camera

The MPC 2.0 megapixel camera has a 1600 x 1200 pixel CMOS sensor. Like the MPC 1.3, the MPC 2.0 is fully DirectShow® and TWAIN™ compliant and includes the Video ToolBox software.The 1600 x 1200 pixel array updates at 10 frames/sec (40 frames/sec. at 800 x 600 pixels.)


MPC 3.1 Megapixel Camera

The MPC 3.1 camera has a 3.2 um x 3.2 um pixel size CMOS sensor with 2048 x 1536 pixels. The full sensor array updates at 6 frames/sec (20 frames/sec at 1074 x 768 pixels.) The MPC 3.1 is fully DirectShow® and TWAIN™ compliant and includes the Video ToolBox software.
