Cooled 6‑MP microscope camera DC.6000i — Euromex CMEX i, CCD 1‑inch, USB 3.0

The Cooled 6‑MP microscope camera DC.6000i is a high‑resolution imaging module designed for laboratory and industrial microscopy applications where low noise and accurate image detail are required

• High‑resolution 6 MP sensor
• Peltier cooling for low noise
• USB 3.0 high‑speed interface
• Includes ImageFocus Alpha software

Accurate images for measurement and documentation

The DC.6000i delivers 6 MP stills at 2748 x 2200 pixels on a CCD 1‑inch sensor, which provides a larger photosensitive area than typical smaller sensors and therefore a higher baseline sensitivity. The comparatively large pixel size (4.54 x 4.54 µm) helps to collect more light per pixel, which translates into clearer detail in micrographs and improved reproducibility for metrology tasks. For inspection and documentation, a wider dynamic range (62.34 dB) and a solid signal‑to‑noise ratio (41.6 dB) reduce the risk of lost detail in high‑contrast scenes, so that measurement routines and image analysis yield consistent data.

Stable performance under long exposures and low light

Thermal noise is a common obstacle for long exposures and low‑light imaging; the integrated Peltier cooling reduces sensor temperature and thus lowers dark current, enabling longer exposures with less noise. The module’s stated sensitivity (880 mV at 1/30 s) and the cooled sensor design are optimised for demanding inspection tasks that require high fidelity rather than only speed. Reported image rates apply under optimal conditions: 7.5 fps at full resolution and 14 fps at reduced vertical resolution, which support both careful documentation and live observation when faster previews are needed.

Integration, workflow and software compatibility

The camera uses a USB 3.0 connection for fast data transfer and straightforward integration into standard laboratory workstations. Supplied control and capture via ImageFocus Alpha enable image capture, basic measurement and batch export without extensive custom development. The device is digital by design and suitable for automated capture workflows when paired with image processing systems; the compact interface and well‑specified frame rates make the module a practical choice for inspection benches and teaching laboratories alike. The Euromex DC.6000i supports typical microscopy setups that require a combination of image quality and predictable data throughput.

FAQ

What image resolutions and frame rates are available with this camera?
The camera captures up to 2748 x 2200 pixels (6 MP); the Euromex DC.6000i delivers 7.5 fps at full resolution and 14 fps at 2748 x 1092 under optimal conditions.

How does the cooling affect image quality?
Integrated Peltier cooling lowers the sensor temperature, reducing thermal noise and enabling longer exposures with less dark current in the DC.6000i, which improves signal quality for low‑light and long‑exposure work.

Is special software required to operate the camera?
The camera is supplied with ImageFocus Alpha for capture and basic measurement functions; the DC.6000i can also be integrated into custom workflows via its USB 3.0 digital interface.

Which sensor type is used and what are the benefits?
A CCD 1‑inch sensor is used in the DC.6000i; its larger photosensitive area and 4.54 µm pixels increase sensitivity and dynamic range compared with smaller sensors, supporting precise documentation.

Is the camera suitable for industrial inspection as well as laboratory use?
Yes. The Euromex DC.6000i’s combination of high resolution, cooled sensor and reliable USB 3.0 connectivity makes it appropriate for both laboratory microscopy and controlled industrial inspection environments.
