BRESSER MikroCam SP 5.0 microscope camera - photo/video capture + measurements, C-Mount format
Visit BRESSER MikroCam SP 5.0 is a USB camera designed for “serious” microscopy (workshop, lab, teaching),
with a 5 MP sensor (2592 × 1944) and, above all, a C-Mount thread for easy integration on a wide range of microscopes
(trinoculars, camera ports, photo adapters). It targets a natural colorimetry and a low noise to properly document your observations,
with rich software (measurements, focus stacking, mosaic, timelapse).
What is MikroCam SP 5.0 used for?
- Microscopic imaging photo/video shooting for biology, research, lab, materials, metallurgy, quality control.
- Documentation and reports clean capture, archiving, sharing and printing.
- On-screen measurements (with calibration): length, diameter, zones, etc., directly on the live feed.
Highlights
- 5 MP resolution (2592 × 1944): more detailed than simple Full HD (useful for photos and measurements).
- C-Mount Pro standard, compatible with a wide range of adapters and trinocular heads.
- Adapters included 23.2 mm / 30 mm / 30.5 mm (to be mounted as an eyepiece holder).
- Complete software (Windows) :
measure, focus stacking (increased depth of field), mosaic (large field), timelapse.
- Metal housing Robust design for regular use in workshops or classrooms.
Before you buy
- Measurements = calibration required The measurement function requires a calibration preparation (not included) to be fair.
- USB 2.0 USB 3.0: highly compatible, but with lower throughput than USB 3.0 (less “ultra-high-speed” oriented than USB 3.0 ranges).
- Windows PC required Windows 10 / 11 (no mention of macOS in the data sheet).

Compatibility & mounting
- Recommended installation on a C-Mount camera port (trinocular) via an adapter adapted to your microscope.
- Quick assembly insertion into an eyepiece tube via adapters 23.2 / 30 / 30.5 mm (included).
- Useful option a reduction 0.5× (fixed or variable depending on configuration) can help increase the field of view and better adapt the sensor to the microscope.

For whom is it a good choice?
- You want a camera more “pro” than a basic eye camerawith measure and advanced functions.
- You have a microscope trinocular or a setup that easily accepts C-Mount.
- You make quality control, the biology or the materials/metallurgy and you need to archive your results.
