1 A59.2240’s Basic Characteristic
A59.2240 is a multiple interfaces (HDMI+WiFi+SD card, so X here means multiple interfaces)
CMOS camera with autofocus function (F means autofocus) and it adopts ultra-high performance Sony
CMOS sensor as the image-picking device. HDMI+WiFi are used as the data transfer interface to HDMI
display or computer.
For HDMI output, The XCamView will be loaded and a camera control panel and toolbar are
overlaid on the HDMI screen, in this case, the USB mouse can be used to set the camera, browse and
compare the captured image, play the video ital.
In HDMI output, the camera embedded Auto/Manual focus function can obtain the clear
image at ease. No hand rotation of the microscope Coarse/Fine knob is needed.
For WiFi output, unplug the mouse and plug in the USB WiFi adapter, connect the computer WiFi to
the camera, then the video stream can be transfer to computer with the advanced software ToupView.
With ToupView, you can control the camera, process the image as ToupTek's other USB series camera.

Figure 7 The Layout of A59.2240 Camera Rear Cover
The
A59.2240
is a HDMI camera with auto focus function. Through the precise control of the sensor
position, the image can be focused automatically for the stereo or biological microscope. However, this
autofocus principle will destruct the microscope’s imaging conjugate principle and we think only a minor
focus adjustment can be made to keep the image with high quality.
But for the online basic observation, the
A59.2240
camera can greatly increase the working efficiency and
eliminate manual focus operations.
