Microscope Cameras
Explore our range of digital microscope cameras that includes our Peak-2 (monochrome for fluorescence imaging), Peak-3, Peak-8, Peak-12 and Peak-20 USB3 cameras that work with our Cytocam software.
We also offer standalone (no PC required) cameras for when multiple users need a quick, simple live image displayed on an AV system / TV / Projector (via HDMI) e.g. in an MDT / MDM meeting room or lecture theatre.
