Product Overview

The ACCU-SCOPE Excelis™ MPX-5M Pro (AU-5M-CMOS) is a 5 MP monochrome microscope camera designed for fluorescence, low-light imaging and scientific documentation. Built around the Sony IMX264 Pregius monochrome sensor, it provides high light sensitivity, global-shutter capture and USB 3.0 connectivity for Windows-based microscopy workflows.

Key Features

• Monochrome Sony IMX264 Pregius sensor, 2/3-inch sensor class
• 3.45 µm pixel size for microscopy applications
• Peak quantum efficiency approximately 70–75% at 525 nm, per manufacturer information
• Global shutter helps prevent motion distortion
• Live imaging and acquisition up to 35 frames per second
• USB 3.0 interface
• CaptaVision+ v3.1 software for Windows PCs
• Uses a 0.65× C-mount microscope adapter (verify compatibility; adapter inclusion not specified)

Technical Specifications

Why Choose a Monochrome Camera?

Unlike a color camera, a monochrome sensor does not use a Bayer color filter array, allowing more efficient light collection for demanding low-light applications. The manufacturer reports a peak quantum efficiency of approximately 70–75% at 525 nm, versus approximately 45–60% for the color version. Its extended spectral response may also support far-red fluorescence applications, including Cy5, when the full optical system and filters are suitable.

Applications

• Fluorescence microscopy and low-light imaging
• Scientific image capture and documentation
• Research and laboratory microscopy
• Live specimen observation where a global shutter is beneficial

Compatibility & Ordering

Confirm your microscope's camera port, C-mount adapter, operating system and imaging requirements before purchase. A compatible 0.65× C-mount adapter may be required. Contact our microscopy team for assistance selecting a camera and adapter combination.
