Other essential

components

To be able to use the camera, you'll also need the following components:

Computer with MS-Windows operating system

Light microscope with camera adapter or something similar, for example a

macro stand

Software to operate the camera (see chapter 3.3 on page 12)

1.2 Specifications

Properties of

the SC50

The SC50 is a CMOS color camera with a high frame rate. It was designed for

biomedical and material sciences applications, but not for clinical diagnostic

purposes. It was specially developed for acquisitions using light microscopy.

The SC50 is of a compact design and can be connected to all common types of light

microscope by a C-mount. The ICC profile technology guarantees an optimal color

mapping.

Binning modes The SC50 has two binning modes. In binning mode, the camera's CMOS sensor

combines neighboring pixels into pixel blocks. This results in a higher sensitivity and

a shorter processing time, but also in a lower resolution.

1.3 Operating and storage conditions

Please operate and store your camera in the following conditions:

The maximum permissible range for the ambient temperature during camera

operation is +0°C to +45°C.

The maximum permissible relative humidity during camera operation is 80 %

(condensation free).

When the camera is stored or transported, the ambient temperature must be

kept between -20°C and +60°C.

Indoor use only.

Maximum altitude: 2000 m.

2 General safety instructions

The camera has been developed and produced in conformity with recognized safety

regulations. However, it is not possible to entirely rule out possible hazards for the

user, damage to the camera or microscope, or impairments of the camera's func-

tionality. For this reason, always read and follow the general safety instructions and

warnings before and during the installation.

Serious injuries can occur

The warning sign and the word Warning indicate dangerous situations

that can lead to serious injuries or even death if ignored.

Light injuries can occur

The warning sign and the word Caution indicate dangerous situations

that can lead to light injuries if ignored.

Damage to devices can occur

The exclamation mark and the word Attention indicate situations,

where irreparable damage to the camera, microscope or computer can

occur if ignored.

Reduced functionality can occur

Notices only printed with an exclamation mark indicate that ignoring

them can reduce or hamper the camera's functionality.

2.1 Avoiding personal injuries

2.2 Avoiding device damage

Electric shock due to damaged cable!

When a cable is frayed or damaged, a person touching it risks the danger of an

electric shock.

Shut off the hardware and replace the cable immediately!

Poisoning due to toxic gases!

In the case of a fire, the material of the camera can give off toxic gases. When

these are inhaled, it can cause irritation of the respiratory passages and damage

to them.

Wear respiratory protection when fighting the fire!

Tripping hazard!

Cables laid across a room can be a dangerous tripping hazard. This can cause

injuries to people and damage to equipment.

Wherever possible, lay cables along the wall or behind furniture. Fix cables that run

across the room into place!

Never open the camera housing!

The camera's CMOS chip is extremely sensitive. Electrostatic discharge can

permanently damage the camera.

Therefore, never, under any circumstances, open the camera housing!

Avoid vibration shocks!

Mechanical shocks and strong vibrations can damage the camera.

Don't drop the camera during installation. Make sure it is securely mounted on the

microscope. When it's not in use, store it in a safe place!

Secure microscopes with additional components!

A top-heavy microscope can tip over or fall down and result in damage to both the

camera and the microscope.

If the microscope is top-heavy or otherwise unstable, fix it!

Warning

Caution

Attention

2 General safety instructions

Don't touch the protective glass!

The protective glass over the CMOS chip is extremely sensitive and must not come

into contact with bare hands or any other objects, otherwise the acquisitions will be

impaired by fingerprints or scratches.

Remove dust from the protective glass carefully with compressed air. Ionized air is

recommended for removing dust which is adhered by static electricity.

Observe the operating conditions!

Exposure to high temperatures or humidity can damage component parts of the

camera.

Always observe the operating and storage conditions (see chapter 1.3 on page 6)!

Don't expose the camera to strong light!

Exposure to strong light can cause the camera to overheat, which may cause

damage to its component parts.

Do not expose the camera to strong light (such as sunlight) for long periods of time.

Only use the USB cable that is delivered with your camera

Operate the camera only with the USB cable that is part of the camera's scope of

supply. This ensures that the EMC basic standards are fulfilled.
