The right choice for challenging tasks in professional fields. The Moticam S Series offers smooth navigation, high colour fidelity, and crisp images designed by German engineers. Time efficiency in its best resolution from HD up to QHD+.
• The Speedy Standards
Moticam S1 and Moticam S3 are designed for the fast and accurate imaging of results in biomedical environments or industry. Ultra-fast image capture and smooth navigation through your samples in live mode. Excellent balance of speed and image quality.
• The Hi-Res Experts
Moticam S6, Moticam S12 and Moticam S20 are focused on resolution, ready to reveal the tiniest detail of your sample on a large screen. Documentation in printed format is no problem at all. The data volume created by the 6/12/20MP sensors should be handled by a computer with USB 3.1 Gen.1 port for faster transmission.
• The Hi-Sensitives
Moticam Pro S5 Lite and Moticam Pro S5 Plus are characterized by a large 2/3' sCMOS sensor and a Global Shutter for speedy handling of moving phenomena. This camera line takes Sensitivity as a priority: Fluorescence, Polarization, and Darkfield are the applications the engineers had in mind.
