Equipped with the latest back-illuminated Scientific CMOS sensors, these new cameras deliver fast frame rates and powerful image quality.

The new Motic sCMOS cameras developed with German engineering represent a new impetus to manufacturing quality, technical precision and lightweight design. The accelerated data readout (Rolling Shutter) also enables it to work on fast moving phenomena. Additional software for cameras is available.

Available:

Moticam S1 - Entry-level model with the new back-illuminated sensor and speedy data transfer (excellent frame rate up to 120fps), makes picture capturing easy. Convert your images in reproducible files: share or print like a professional.

Moticam S3 - Mid-size resolution of 3MP, allowing a balance between speed and resolution. For teaching purposes and routine labs, diverse tasks from biology, medicine and industry are covered. The backlight technology of the sCMOS sensor guarantees state of the art imaging for professional image results.

Moticam S6 - 6MP resolution, dedicated to large-sized monitors and printing purposes. The Moticam S6 is geared for presentations to a larger audience using a video projector, but printed reports are also created with ease of handling, utilising the advanced sensor technology of the Motic S Series cameras.

Moticam Pro S5 Lite -  2/3" sensor with 5MP at a frame rate of up to 40fps in full resolution. This camera covers the important aspects of: Resolution for detail information; speed for moving/living samples; and image grabbing to cover large sample areas.

Moticam Pro S5 Plus - 2/3" sensor with 5MP at a maximised frame rate of up to 70fps in full resolution. This camera covers the important aspects of: Resolution for detail information; speed for moving/living samples; and image grabbing to cover large sample areas.

Moticam S12 - Maximum resolution for printing purposes. A 25 fps maximum frame rate manages the largest data volume of the Motic S Series. If you are looking for the ultimate choice in resolution in display or for printing, Moticam S12 is your solution.
