The AmScope AF202 is an advanced auto-focus 1080p HDMI WiFi Digital C-Mount Camera designed for both standalone operation and PC imaging. This camera enhances microscopy observation by providing 1080p live-viewing via HDMI at 60 frames per second (fps) and the ability to record photos and videos directly to Secure Digital (SD) media. Its internal software offers comprehensive control over exposure and color, alongside tools for measurements and comparisons. The integrated auto-focus mechanism minimizes the need for manual focus adjustments, streamlining the observation process. For remote control and streaming, the camera supports WiFi connectivity, offering 25fps streaming to a PC. The included Windows software provides extensive image development, measurement, and advanced compositing features like image-stitching and extended-depth-of-focus. A lite version of the software is available for Mac and Linux users, supporting video and still image capture with limited processing capabilities. The AF202 utilizes a C-mount interface, ensuring compatibility with a wide array of reduction lenses and photo-ports. Please note that due to the auto-focus mechanism, C-mount lens threads should not exceed 5mm.
