Cooled 20 MP Microscope Camera DC.20000i — 1‑inch CMOS, Peltier-cooled, USB 3.0 by Euromex

The Cooled 20 MP Microscope Camera DC.20000i is a high-resolution digital microscope camera designed for demanding laboratory and industrial imaging tasks, delivering detailed stills and controlled, low-noise acquisition for inspection, documentation and research.

• 20 MP resolution (5440 × 3648)
• 1‑inch CMOS sensor for high sensitivity
• Peltier cooling for low noise
• USB 3.0 high-speed interface

Exceptional image detail for demanding inspection

The camera delivers 20 MP stills at a native resolution of 5440 × 3648, driven by a 1‑inch CMOS sensor with a 2.4 µm pixel grid. This combination produces finely resolved images that reveal subtle structures and surface features, supporting precise measurements and traceable documentation. High pixel density is advantageous when cropping or performing digital measurements, since fewer optical changes are required to retain detail. The imaging chain is optimised for clarity, making the unit suitable for material analysis, quality assurance and research where visual fidelity is critical.

Reliable low-noise capture for quantitative results

Integrated Peltier cooling reduces thermal noise and stabilises the sensor baseline, improving the effective dynamic range to 66.3 dB and providing a signal-to-noise ratio of 41.74 dB under specified conditions. The cooled sensor benefits long exposures and high-dynamic-range tasks, where accurate tonal gradation and repeatable results matter. Reduced noise means fewer post-processing corrections and more trustworthy data for measurements or automated analysis routines, so the system supports repeatable workflows in production control and metrology.

Seamless workflow integration and flexible acquisition rates

The unit interfaces via USB 3.0, offering high-bandwidth connectivity for fast transfer and straightforward PC integration. Software control is provided through ImageFocus Alpha, enabling capture, annotation and basic analysis in a single environment. Native frame rates vary with resolution — from 5 fps at full resolution to 30 fps at lower resolutions — allowing users to balance throughput and detail depending on the task. The camera belongs to the CMEX i series and is supplied as a digital, cooled microscope camera well suited to automated inspection lines, educational laboratories and research benches requiring robust image handling.

FAQ

What resolution does the camera provide and how does it benefit inspection tasks?
The Euromex DC.20000i provides 20 MP stills at 5440 × 3648 pixels, enabling fine detail capture that reduces the need for optical changes and supports accurate measurements during inspection and documentation.

Can the camera handle long exposures for fluorescence or low-light imaging?
Yes, the Peltier-cooled sensor in the DC.20000i lowers thermal noise, improving dynamic range and enabling longer exposures with better signal integrity for low-light applications.

Which software is supplied for controlling the camera?
ImageFocus Alpha is provided for acquisition and basic analysis; it supports the typical control functions required when operating the Euromex cooled microscope camera (SKU DC.20000i) via USB 3.0.

What frame rates can be expected for live observation?
Frame rates depend on resolution: the camera reaches 5 fps at full 20 MP, and up to 30 fps at lower resolutions, offering flexibility between detail and live throughput.

Is the interface compatible with modern laboratory PCs?
The unit uses USB 3.0, ensuring high-speed data transfer and broad compatibility with current laboratory and industrial PCs that include USB 3.0 ports.
