GOKO MVC-DU is developed and manufactured by GOKO Imaging Devices Co., Ltd., an innovative Japanese manufacturer of optical imaging devices with a 70 year history, which holds the world's largest production volume of film compact cameras and global market share of 8mm cinema editors under its own brand and OEM supply. See our history.
The MVC-DU offers a larger image field (3 to 5 times) compared to conventional microscope cameras, which resolves common problems caused by the difference in size between the object field seen through the eyepiece and the displayed image field on a computer.
The MVC-DU features an optical system that is equivalent to a 10× eyepiece.
The MVC-DU can be mounted on optical microscopes, such as stereo microscopes, biological microscopes (both upright and inverted), and even small monocular microscopes with an ISO standard 23.2 mm or 30 mm eyepiece (Olympus, Nikon, Leica, ZEISS, etc.) in order to upgrade them to ones that feature digital cameras.
The MVC-DU is popular among those who need a recording device in their microscope, or have difficulty obtaining films of instant cameras mounted on trinocular body tubes.
The MVC-DU can be mounted on optical microscopes in which the insertion part without the eyepiece is φ23.2 (principally biological microscopes) or φ30 (principally stereo microscopes), which satisfies ISO standard criteria. Please see below.
A good optical system is essential for quality images. GOKO has a proud history of more than 60 years as a Japanese manufacturer of finished optical products, and we place considerable emphasis on developing fine optical systems and not just increasing the number of pixels. Our fine optical system realizes greater clarity and better quality.
Please see sample images.
The MVC-DU is easily mounted on trinocular microscopes by attaching the C-mount adapter.
The MVC-DU can be mounted on a trinocular tube, which has a C-mount thread cut and is not equipped with a lens for optimizing the angle of view or changing the projection magnification, by attaching a C-mount adapter in place of the spacer ring.
*Please confirm that the C-mount trinocular is not originally equipped with a lens for optimizing the angle of view or changing the projection magnification.
*The MVC-DU can be used as a USB-output camera by installing a CCTV lens to the C-mount and by replacing the spacer ring with a C-mount adapter.
You can choose the measurement software according to your needs.
equipped with 2D measurement function
(Vertical distance, distance between circle centers, specified angle, 3-point specified circle, polygon, etc.)
