Powerful and Versatile

The OLYMPUS LC30 is equipped with a powerful 3.1-megapixel CMOS chip. The 2,048 x 1,532 pixels with a pixel size of 3.2 µm x 3.2 µm are digitized with 10-bits resolution. The camera supports various binning modes which can be used to increase sensitivity, as well as frame rate, and offers exposure times ranging from just 57 µs up to 750 milliseconds

High Frame Rates

Thanks to its high frame rates, the OLYMPUS LC30 makes it easy to navigate the sample and to focus precisely on areas of interest. 3X binning mode delivers 37 images per second at 680 x 512 pixels, making observation of samples smooth and convenient. 2X binning mode allow the acquisition of 28 images per second at 1,024 x 768 pixels, ensuring quick and accurate focusing. In full 3.1-megapixel resolution, the OLYMPUS LC30 still delivers 10 images per second.

True Color Accuracy

Color is one of the main criteria in differentiating the relevant aspects of a sample. Ensuring accurate reproduction and recording of colors is therefore of utmost importance to all digital microscope imaging systems. Olympus patented true color correction uses precisely-calibrated ICC profiles for the best possible color reproduction. This unique and advanced technique works in real time to ensure that perfect color fidelity is always obtained at the highest speed possible.

Easy Installation and Convenient Work

The OLYMPUS LC30 can be mounted quickly and easily on all light microscopes with a C-mount adapter. USB 2.0 guarantees quick, flexible, and easy connection to the host PC or laptop. Only a single USB 2.0 cable is needed for high-speed data transfer and power supply. The OLYMPUS LC30 can be fully operated via the OLYMPUS Stream software. This ensures the camera is easy to use to its full potential and delivers proven solutions to a broad range of imaging needs, including image commenting, archiving, and report generation.
