ZEISS Axiocam Family Overview

ZEISS microscope cameras are specifically engineered for scientific research, laboratory documentation, and microscopy applications. Unlike standard digital or industrial cameras, these systems are optimized for sensitivity, resolution, and accurate color reproduction. Different sensor sizes and pixel dimensions allow users to balance frame rate, field coverage, and image detail according to their specific application.

ZEISS Axiocam 305 Color – Fast 5 Megapixel Microscope Camera

The Axiocam 305 color is a high-performance 5-megapixel microscope camera designed for routine laboratory work and advanced research applications. It features modern CMOS global shutter technology, enabling distortion-free imaging of moving samples with excellent precision.

With its highly sensitive 2/3" sensor and advanced camera engineering, this model captures sharp, high-contrast color images. An optional black-and-white mode is available for documenting basic fluorescence. Operating at up to 36 frames per second at full resolution, the camera supports fast searching, quick focusing, and efficient digital workflow.

The 2/3" sensor format allows wider field coverage, making it suitable for compound, stereo, and zoom microscopes. The USB 3.0 interface ensures reliable performance and easy integration with ZEISS ZEN imaging software.
