Description

The Levenhuk M500 BASE Digital Camera is the advanced model of the Levenhuk M BASE series with a 5 megapixel sensor. You will be able to receive high-quality images with a resolution of up to 2592x1944 pixels, record video, and broadcast it on a large screen. The camera can be used at lectures or in classrooms, for home studies and work.

The camera can be installed on a biological or stereoscopic microscope of any brand. In the basic configuration, it can be used with an eyepiece tube of 23.2mm diameter. With an adapter, the camera is compatible with microscopes of other diameters. The camera is used in place of an eyepiece and after connecting to the computer, the image is displayed on the screen in real time.

You can use the camera as a digital eyepiece, capturing interesting moments of research or recording video. Choose an appropriate camera mode by using the special Levenhuk software that comes in the kit.

Questions and Answers
Lacey (2019.10.22)
The M500 BASE doesn't fit snugly into the eyepieces of our dissection scopes. Is there an adapter available? I'm measuring the inner diameter of our eyepieces to be 30mm.
Customer service:
Dear Lacey, thank you for your inquiry. Currently we do not have adapters in our product range. But you can use the adapter of any brand. We also have M Plus cameras that come with 2 adapters and will fit the 30mm eyepiece tube. Is there any additional information you might need?
Nathalia Moor (2018.04.27)
can I use this camera with Bresser micro-advance-icd-10-160x?
Customer service:
Yes, Levenhuk M500 BASE Digital Camera is suitable for Levenhuk Rainbow 50L PLUS Microscope.
Anna Kera (2018.04.18)
hello! Is this camera suitable for Levenhuk 50l plus microscope?
Customer service:
Levenhuk Blaze 90 Spotting Scope allows you to observe the Moon. Planets will appear as shiny dots. For celestial observations, telescopes are preferable.
Loyd Ware (2018.01.31)
Hello! Is this camera suitable for Levenhuk 720B? Using them together, will I be able to get 2000x magnification and measure observed and recorded objects in microns?
Customer service:
Levenhuk M500 BASE Digital Camera paired with Levenhuk 720B Microscope will give you about 1000x magnification, as the camera has its own magnification of 10x.
Adam Ibarra (2018.01.24)
Why is this camera quite "slow" in video mode at maximum resolutions? Is it normal?
Customer service:
Yes, for the Levenhuk M500 BASE camera, some delay is normal.
Max (2017.10.26)
is it suitable for use with evenhuk870T?
Customer service:
Yes, Levenhuk M500 BASE Digital Camera is suitable for Levenhuk 870T Biological Trinocular Microscope.
nick (2017.10.26)
does the camera have optical magnification? I mean if it is installed in place of a 10x or 20x eyepiece, it should provide the same power, right?
Customer service:
Levenhuk M500 BASE Digital Camera does not have optical magnification, only digital of 10x.
Julio (2017.09.27)
Will this microscope be suitable for observing bacteria of the Escherichia coli group in milk?
Customer service:
If 1280x magnification is enough for your observations, then Levenhuk Rainbow 50L PLUS Moonstone microscope will do.
