The BestScope BUC1D-1200C is a standard C-mount camera built around a 12MP Sony IMX577 color CMOS sensor. It streams full-resolution 3840 × 3040 images over USB2.0 at 20 fps, and its built-in hardware ISP engine delivers accurate color reproduction for bright-field microscopy and image analysis.
Housed in a compact CNC aluminum alloy body with a protective IR-cut filter and no moving parts, it's a rugged, long-life imaging solution. It comes with BestScope's ImageView software and a multi-platform SDK, and with the right adapter it fits microscopes, telescopes and machine vision setups.
Key Features
 | 12MP Sony IMX577 sensorThe 1/2.3" IMX577 sensor (5.95 × 4.71 mm) has 1.55 µm pixels, a 70 dB dynamic range and a 43 dB maximum SNR. It captures 3840 × 3040, 1920 × 1520 and 960 × 760 images at 20 fps, with exposure from 0.1 to 2000 ms for bright and dim samples. |
Ultra-fine hardware ISP engineSwitch between automatic and manual exposure with precise time control and a real-time exposure target area. White balance can be automatic, manual or ROI-based, with temperature and tint adjustment. You can also adjust color, choose color modes, flip the image, and apply histogram, flat field and dark field correction. |  |
Built for the Lab
Fast, stable USB2.0 streaming
A large-capacity memory chip ensures synchronous data transmission with low latency and stable frame rates. High-performance MJPEG compression with a unique image restoration algorithm keeps frame rates high over USB2.0.
Plug-and-play and developer friendly
The camera is compatible with the Microsoft USB Video Class (UVC) protocol and powered directly from the PC's USB port. A Windows, Linux, macOS and Android SDK supports C/C++, C#/VB.NET, Python, Java, DirectShow and Twain.
ImageView software included
BestScope's advanced ImageView application handles live video, still capture, movie recording and image processing.
Rugged aluminum housing
The tough CNC aluminum alloy body has a high-quality IR-cut filter to protect the sensor, natural cooling and no moving parts, giving it a longer lifespan than many industrial cameras. It's CE and FCC compliant.
Fits microscopes and telescopes
The standard C-mount connects directly to C-mount lenses and trinocular ports. With BestScope's fixed or adjustable adapters, it also fits 23.2 mm microscope eyepiece tubes and 31.75 mm telescope tubes.
