US500 is a research-grade camera newly developed based on ICX282 by VezuTech. Its 5 million pixels with 36BIT color depth could help users collect high-quality microscopic images. Usually under the same size of chip, the greater the pixels, the smaller the unit pixel area. Covering a spherical lens on each pixel, ICX282 could largely improve the amount of lights accepted by each pixel. 

Features: 
1.        2/3  color ccd sensor. 5Mp resolution. 
2.        High-definition, high-quality color reproduction. 
3.        USB2.0 interface, plug and use. Good price. 
4.        Offer VIMAGE software. Its new VDK algorithm makes perfect color reproduction. 
Defects: 
1.        Sensitivity is not as high as UC141S. 
2.        Speed is not so high at full resolution.
