Tucsen MIchrome 5 Pro is a 5MP USB3.0 scientific microscope camera designed for fluorescence microscopy, brightfield imaging, live stitching, live extended depth-of-field imaging, biological microscopy, research documentation, and advanced software-controlled image capture. It uses a Sony IMX264LQR-C color CMOS sensor with global shutter technology to capture crisp, undistorted images of dynamic samples and moving specimens.

| Fluorescence & Scientific Imaging |
The MIchrome 5 Pro is one of the strongest cameras in the MIchrome lineup for fluorescence microscopy because it combines 3.45 µm pixels, 5MP resolution, USB3.0 transfer speed, and global shutter image capture. It is a strong fit for users who need a practical scientific camera for fluorescence, brightfield, laboratory documentation, and research imaging without moving into a much more expensive cooled sCMOS platform. |
| Global Shutter Technology |
Global shutter capture exposes all pixels simultaneously, helping reduce distortion and deformation when imaging dynamic samples or moving specimens. This makes the MIchrome 5 Pro different from rolling-shutter USB microscope cameras and valuable for applications where image geometry and motion capture matter. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1} |
| Live Stitching & Live EDF |
With Tucsen Mosaic software, the MIchrome 5 Pro supports live image stitching for generating larger mosaic images while moving the stage and live EDF for combining multiple focal planes into a clearer extended-depth image. These tools are useful for biological sections, stereo microscope specimens, metallurgical samples, inspection work, and documentation where a single field of view or focal plane is not enough. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2} |
| Sensor & Imaging Performance |
The camera uses a Sony IMX264LQR-C color CMOS sensor with 2448(H) × 2048(V) resolution, 3.45 µm pixels, an 11.1 mm sensor diagonal, and 36 fps USB3.0 imaging. The current Tucsen product page lists an 8.4 mm × 7.1 mm effective area, while the MIchrome series specification sheet lists 4.6 mm × 2.6 mm for this model; use the current Tucsen page value when entering product specs unless Tucsen confirms otherwise. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3} :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4} |

| Microscope Compatibility |
The MIchrome 5 Pro uses a standard C-mount interface and can be adapted to many trinocular biological microscopes, fluorescence microscopes, metallurgical microscopes, polarizing microscopes, stereo microscopes, and inspection microscope systems. Correct C-mount adapter magnification depends on the microscope camera port, sensor size, desired field of view, and whether the user wants to prioritize full-field capture or magnified detail. |
