  • SVBONY SV189 Microscope Camera

    The SVBONY SV189 Microscope Camera digitizes your observations with its 1.3 million pixel CMOS sensor, capturing still images at a 1280x1024 resolution. It records video at 16 frames per second at its maximum resolution, streaming data directly to your computer over a USB 2.0 interface. The sensor's 2.8µm pixels and 1.0V/lux-sec@550nm sensitivity are designed to resolve fine details in biological specimens and prepared slides for documentation and analysis.

    The 1.3MP CMOS Sensor: 1280x1024 Resolution for Digital Documentation

    At the core of the SV189 is a 1/4" CMOS sensor that provides a static image resolution of 1280x1024 pixels. This resolution is ideal for classroom documentation, hobbyist analysis, and creating a digital archive of your slides. The 2.8µm pixel size allows for detailed captures without requiring massive file sizes, making storage and sharing straightforward.

    The camera's electronic rolling shutter (ERS) and broad 400nm to 1000nm spectral response ensure it can capture a wide range of subjects. Video can be captured at up to 16 f/s at full resolution, allowing you to document dynamic processes in real-time, with images saved in common JPG or BMP formats.

    USB 2.0 and Broad System Support for Windows & macOS

    Designed for straightforward integration, the SV189 connects to your computer via a standard USB 2.0 port, providing both power and data transfer through a single cable. This simplifies setup and makes the camera highly portable. The lightweight 90g body ensures it won't unbalance the eyepiece turret of your microscope.

    The camera offers broad software compatibility, with drivers and capture software available for both Windows and macOS systems. While specifically matched for SVBONY SV601 and SV605 microscopes, it fits 23.2mm and 30mm eyepiece interfaces, using the included microscope adapter where needed, offering potential compatibility with a wide range of other microscope models.

  • What is the maximum resolution of the SVBONY SV189 camera?

    The SVBONY SV189 has a 1.3 million pixel sensor that captures both static and dynamic images at a maximum resolution of 1280x1024 pixels. It also supports lower resolutions of 640x480 and 320x240 for faster frame rates or smaller file sizes.

    Is the SVBONY SV189 compatible with my Apple MacBook?

    Yes, the SV189 is compatible with macOS systems, in addition to Windows. You can download the appropriate software and drivers from the SVBONY website to view and capture images on your Mac.

    How will the SVBONY SV189 perform when documenting stained histology slides with an SV601 microscope?

    The SV189 is an excellent match for this task. Its 1.3MP sensor and 1280x1024 resolution are well-suited for capturing the distinct colors and structures in stained slides. When paired with the SV601, you can easily create a digital record of your histology samples for reports, teaching, or personal archives.

    Can I use the SVBONY SV189 to capture video of live organisms in a water sample?

    Yes. The SV189 can record video at 16 frames per second at its full 1280x1024 resolution. This frame rate is sufficient for capturing the movement of microorganisms like amoebas, paramecia, or tardigrades for observation and analysis.

    How does the SV189 camera connect to a microscope?

    The SVBONY SV189 fits microscope eyepiece interfaces of 23.2mm or 30mm, using the included microscope adapter where needed. It connects to your computer for power and data transfer using a single USB 2.0 cable.

    Which SVBONY microscopes are directly compatible with the SV189 camera?

    The SVBONY SV189 is officially listed as compatible with the SVBONY SV601 and SV605 microscope models, ensuring seamless integration and operation.
