A C-mount microscope camera is a type of digital camera that is specifically designed for use with microscopes. It connects to the microscope via an adapter and provides high resolution images, videos and measurements. C-mount cameras feature adjustable imaging parameters such as frame rate, exposure time, gain control and image capture settings so they can be adjusted according to the needs of any experiment or application. They are used in many scientific fields including microbiology, biotechnology and materials science research. C-mount cameras are also often used by jewelers when examining gemstones under magnification.
