Microscopes and Imaging Hardware

PAXcam microscope cameras adapt easily to a multitude of brands and styles of microscopes and macrostands, through standard C-mount couplers provided by MIS. We also work with local dealers and with suppliers to provide quality optics and microscope packages as turnkey solutions for your imaging application.

In addition to our standard PAXcam and software packages, our team is experienced with systems integration for meeting the demanding needs of specialty lab projects. This may include customized optics as the front-end for the camera system, specialty lighting, staging, controls, and more. Many clients take advantage of our ability to provide the total package of hardware and software, and we will be happy to discuss your particular requirements to provide the perfect integrated system to meet your needs.

Contact MIS for more information on putting together a system for you that can include any of the following hardware components (or contact MIS for more specialized, custom needs):
