BMS_pix3 full version for Windows offers powerful image enhancement and measurement tools, along with advanced features like image
stitching and
extended depth of focus. It supports
scale calibration at
multiple magnifications, making it ideal for multi-level inspection. A light version for Mac and Linux allows capturing video and still images, with basic processing features included.
Sony Starvis back illuminated CMOS sensor
One of the features that truly stands out is the Sony Starvis back-illuminated CMOS sensor. This feature allows the camera to deliver exceptionally bright, sharp, and true-to-life images by capturing more light than standard sensors, even in low-light conditions. It reduces noise and enhances contrast while preserving fine details to deliver accurate observations, clear recordings, and precise measurements.
Advanced image processing
The key to effective observation is a clear, detailed and accurate image. The camera’s advanced
ISP (Image Signal Processor) and related processing functions optimize every image and video in real time. It automatically adjusts exposure, white balance, contrast and sharpness while reducing noise, ensuring consistently high-quality visuals. This makes it easy for students, educators and researchers to focus on observations and analysis without worrying about technical adjustments, enhancing both teaching and research efficiency.
Multi-Output Connectivity
The camera offers versatile connectivity and providing maximum flexibility for different applications.
- HDMI: enables smooth, real-time Full HD display on a monitor or television without the need for a computer.
- USB 2.0: allows direct connection to a PC for live streaming, image capture and video recording, ideal for teaching, demonstrations and research documentation.
- SD card: supports direct storage of images and videos, making it easy to save and share observations instantly.
These multi-output options with a standard C-mount ensure seamless integration with BMS microscopes, supporting stand-alone display and live streaming for a wide range of educational and research workflows.
Turn the BMS Microscope into a Digital Cinema with the HDMI Camera
The BMS HDMI camera instantly transforms any BMS microscope into a high-definition digital cinema. Simply attach it using the included reduction lens and adapters and stream sharp live video directly to any HDMI-enabled display or monitor. Capture crisp still images and perform detailed analysis. Powered through the included adapter, the camera delivers reliable performance without complicated setup. Observations become vivid, demonstrations more engaging, and research more efficient.
