BMS Camera, USB 3.0, CMOS 5.0MP Kit
This BMS 5MP digital camera is the perfect upgrade for your BMS microscope. It allows you to capture sharp still images, record video and stream live footage directly to your computer. With its USB 3.0 connection, the camera delivers fast data transfer for smooth, high-quality viewing and recording.
Microscope to Digital in Seconds
Turn your BMS microscope into a digital workstation in moments. Simply attach the camera using the included reduction lens and adapters, then connect it to your computer. The camera is fully powered through the USB connection, so no extra cables or power supplies are needed. It works seamlessly with Windows, Mac, and Linux.
High-Speed USB 3.0
With USB 3.0, enjoy lightning-fast data transfer between the camera and your computer. USB 3.0 ensures smooth live video, real-time observation, and instant image saving. This makes classroom demonstrations, student labs, and research experiments more engaging and efficient, with no lag during live observation.
Sharp and Detailed 5MP Images
The 5 megapixel (5MP) sensor captures approximately 5 million pixels, producing crisp, detailed images that reveal even the finest specimen details. Perfect for classroom teaching, student labs, and research, it allows accurate measurements, clear documentation, and high-quality images for presentations or reports. The resolution delivers outstanding detail while keeping images easy to handle.

Which BMS Microscope Works Best with a USB Camera?
A USB camera delivers the most detail when combined with the right microscope setup. Both BMS compound and stereo microscopes can be used together with a camera to achieve professional-quality results.
- Stage: An XY mechanical stage ensures smooth and stable specimen movement, making stitching and large-area imaging precise and effortless while maintaining perfect image stability.
- Objectives: Plan achromatic objectives provide flat, sharp, and color-corrected images across the entire field of view. Every detail is captured accurately without distortion, making them ideal for professional imaging.
- Illumination: LED illumination delivers bright, uniform, and consistent light, enhancing image clarity and true-to-life color reproduction. Stable illumination is essential for both photography and video documentation.
All BMS microscopes can be configured for USB camera use. Even models such as the BMS 100FL can be upgraded with an XY mechanical stage, providing a professional solution for high-quality microscope documentation. For the best results, choose a microscope with a mechanical stage and plan optics, available across the full BMS range.
