Never look at the sun, a bright light source, or laser beam through the camera. It can cause permanent
damage to your eyes.
MAGUS high-speed HDMI cameras are designed to be paired with a digital microscope. Sony Starvis high-sensitivity
sensor ensures perfect color reproduction and image quality even in low light conditions. You can install the camera
software to view, save, and edit captured images and videos. The rugged aluminum housing is designed for operation at low
temperatures (–10°C).

You should use a special stage micrometer (calibration slide) to determine the linear
dimensions (in millimeters or microns).
The calibration slide is a transparent glass (of the same size as the specimen slide) that
has a micrometer scale with a scale division of 0.01mm etched on the surface.
The calibration slide (stage micrometer) is used to calibrate the image analysis
software for measurements in actual units. In the calibration mode, you should capture
an image of the micrometer scale with every objective magnification and indicate the
known distance. That lets you establish a scale of the image in actual units (micrometer,
millimeter, etc.).
Calibration:
1. Place the calibration slide on the microscope stage.
2. Select the required objective and set the maximum camera resolution.
3. Get a contrast image of the scale on the monitor screen and capture the image.
4. Select the ''Calibrate'' function in the software you are using.
5. Double-click on the maximum visible distance and enter the value in actual units.
6. Enter the calibration setting and check the result. The program will save the calibration factor.
7. You can select any measurement unit later, and all the results will be re-calculated in accordance with this selection.
