VC.3042 UHD‑4K HD colour camera — HDMI & USB‑2 outputs by Euromex

The VC.3042 is a compact UHD‑4K HD colour inspection camera designed for stereo microscopes and digital imaging tasks in laboratory and quality‑control environments.

• UHD 4K capture at 3840x2160
• Sony 4K sensor for high sensitivity
• HDMI and USB‑2 digital outputs
• Includes calibration slide and adapters

Sharper images for clearer decisions

Equipped with a Sony 4K sensor and UHD 4K capture mode at 3840x2160, the camera delivers image detail that supports fast defect detection and precise documentation. The native 8.3 MP resolution, combined with a 0.5x magnification option, produces images that reveal surface features and fine structures, enabling accurate visual inspection and reliable archival of findings. As a result, measurement tasks and visual assessments become more consistent, reducing repeat inspections and improving throughput.

Seamless integration into existing workflows

With both HDMI and USB‑2 outputs and a standard C‑mount, the camera integrates into microscopy stations, monitor setups and imaging chains without extensive modification. Compatibility with Windows 10/11 and Mac OS ensures that capture software, file transfer and basic analysis operate on common platforms. The included Wi‑Fi dongle, 16GB SD‑card and essential adapters minimise initial purchases and allow immediate use for documentation, remote review and simple record keeping.

Reliable imaging under varied conditions

A progressive scan sensor with rolling shutter, combined with exposure auto/manual control and white balance ROI, provides consistent colour rendition and stable frame capture in changing light. The device sensitivity of 505 mV/lux‑sec and 36 bits colour depth support faithful colour reproduction for critical inspections, while a measured noise level of 40.5 dB keeps image quality usable in sensitive applications. Rated for operation between −10 to 50°C and 30–80% humidity, the camera remains dependable in typical workshop and laboratory climates.

Ready for calibration and immediate inspection

The delivery scope includes adapters for stereo microscopes, power and connection cables, a calibration slide (76 x 24 mm, 1 mm/100), and a 16GB SD‑card, so set‑up time is minimised and traceable imaging can begin straight away. The compact form factor and C‑mount design, together with the supplied accessories, simplify installation on inspection rigs and ensure repeatable positioning for comparative imaging across batches. With clear documentation included, the unit supports both routine checks and detailed reporting.
