(posted 2020-05-12 02:00:11.13) Dear Thorlabs Team,
It is very surprising for me that you do not have any software (drivers) for the Mac OS X operating system.
Now I have to figure out how to make it to work.
Best regards,

(posted 2020-02-19 10:52:41.91) What is the spectral sensitivity of this camera?
Ophir give the spectral range of their NIR camera up front but is coy about the price.
You post your prices but make it impossible to find basic technical information about the camera.
If you're going to advertise an NIR camera, the first thing anybody is going to want to see is the spectral response curve without wasting a half hour trying to find the information in an endless multi-camera reference manual!! llamb
(posted 2020-02-20 03:14:56.0) Thank you for contacting Thorlabs. We apologize for the inconvenience in finding the relevant specifications and will consider ways to improve this. The spectral quantum efficiency plots for these cameras can be found by clicking on the popup images in the table row labeled "Sensitivity Graph", found as you scroll down the webpage to the respective subgroups for each camera. These plots can also be found by clicking on the "Graphs" tab, underneath the main product family image near the top of the page. PILAR BLASCO
(posted 2020-02-07 09:43:05.813) I have the camera DCC1545M and I have to fit together to the objective MVL6WA. I have used an adapter CS mount to C mount, however if I screw completely the objective to the camera I can`t get to focus the image. I have to unscrew some rounds to get a focused image. Does it need any special adapter or ring to use?.
Other question: I have to use also a filter FEL0750, but if I use a SM1QP coupled to the objective the image appears limited by the own lens tube filter holder. Does it is possible to place the filter between the camera and the objective, using some additional piece?. Thank you llamb
(posted 2020-02-12 09:18:39.0) Thank you for your feedback. I have reached out to you directly to troubleshoot the focusing lens, as the included CS- to C-Mount adapter should generally suffice for the DCC1545M camera, though perhaps a C-Mount spacer ring would help in this case. While adding a filter between the camera and lens is mechanically possible, it will not allow a focused image to be achieved. We would recommend mounting it onto the front of the MVL6WA using the SM1A25 adapter and our SM1L03 lens tube. user

(posted 2019-08-06 15:31:44.67) Dear Thorlabs,
In our lab we have a Thorlabs camera marked with the identification numbers: UI-3240CP-NIR-GL-TL. We are attempting studies in which we need to know the relative intensity of light of different wavelengths (~700-900nm), to do so I need as much information as possible on the quantum efficiency of this camera in that range.
When I attempted to search for UI-3240-NIR-GL-TL I was redirected to the DCC3240N. Are these two products the same or comparable? If not do you have information for the UI-3240-NIR-GL-TL?
In particular I see that there is a quantum efficiency curve for the DCC3240-NIR camera. is that curve accurate for the UI-3240 camera? If so can you provide me with the data used to produce that curve (preferably in ASCII format)? if that curve is not accurate for the UI-3240 can you provide me with similar accurate data for that camera.
Thank you for your time and help YLohia
(posted 2019-08-08 03:38:21.0) Hello, thank you for contacting Thorlabs. You are correct -- this is indeed our DCC3240N (this are exactly the same, the only difference is that the engraving on the piece is slightly different from the actual part number of the item). The quantum efficiency plots in the "Relative Sensitivity" tab on this page therefore apply. I am reaching out to you directly with the raw data. Sergio Vilches

(posted 2019-04-01 02:17:14.0) Thank you for contacting Thorlabs. Line scanning analysis will need to be done after image acquisition using analysis tools from a third party software. I have reached out to you directly with further details. jose.lizardi1
(posted 2019-03-06 17:27:50.91) Is it possible to use the DCC3240N camera with DIC to visualize neurons (and have a good contrast) in brain slice for electrophysiology? llamb
(posted 2019-04-01 02:04:53.0) Thank you for your feedback. As most DIC/brain slice imaging experiments are done with NIR illumination, the sensitivity of the camera in NIR is most important. Often times the same camera is used to identify fluorescent-tagged neurons as well. The DCC3240N can be used for NIR/DIC imaging, but if fluorescence imaging is being considered as well in the application, a different camera like our CS505MU would be recommended. I have reached out to you directly to discuss your application further. don.schertler
(posted 2019-02-12 13:24:16.023) We recently purchased the DCC3240N camera and are using the Thorcam software, including the LabView (LV) drivers. There are several useful LV examples for single frame capture, and a lot of code for video capture built into the uc480.net libraries. But I have not found a LV example for video capture and storage. Would have an example LabView program that saves a video directly to disk? nbayconich

All of our cameras are triggerable, which allows them to be synchronized to an external trigger pulse. You may want to look into the "Bulb" mode, which allows the trigger pulse to set both the instant of exposure and the duration of exposure. We would need more information regarding the illumination (e.g. steady or strobed, motion in FOV) that will help determine the precision with which you need to synchronize your cameras. Please note that our cameras are LabVIEW compatible, which can be used for some very basic synchronization. I will reach out to you directly to discuss your application further. abren0724
(posted 2018-03-27 13:44:31.63) I have DCC3260M. I have several questions regarding the uc480.Messaging command:
1. The .Net manual says one can refer to uc480.NET C# SimpleLive for demo, but I do not find the uc480.Messaging command in this demo. Also, there are multiple files included in SimpleLive. Which file should I look at? Which line should I look at?
2. I do not find uc480MultipleCameraScan in the Scientific Imaging folder.
3. Can you give me an example of how to use this command in Matlab? What should be in the second argument of cam.Messaging.Enable()? Should it be a Matlab listener? What I want to do is to have camera parameters set up in advance, and have the camera wait. When the trigger occurs, I want the camera copies the image of the passed image memory to an array automatically. YLohia

(posted 2018-03-30 04:59:21.0) Hello John, thank you for contacting Thorlabs. The 68.2 dB dynamic range is given specifically for the sensor, but the amplifier and analog-to-digital converter also will limit the camera's saturation point. A single camera pixel for the DCC1545M has a full well capacity of about 26000 electrons for a given integration time. Using this and the quantum efficiency, you can back calculate for a saturation power density. I will reach out to you directly as well. brian.simonds

Firstly, I have downloaded all the examples, documentation etc that I can find.
Using the .NET wrapper (uc480DotNet.dll) and the simple example provided in ITN000563-D03.pdf I have attempted to follow the simple startup instructions to get some kind of image streaming.
I need to be able to manipulate the image later on so I need access to the memory where the image is being captured.
I can get a list of devices, so far I'm only using 1 but in the future there could be 2 or more cameras to juggle.
The problems come in when I attempt to Acquisition.Capture().
I'm Allocating memory, setting it to active, I'm subscribed to the EventFrame and nothing is happening.
Ive tried to use Display.Render(m_s32MemID, m_PicBoxHandle, DisplayRenderMode.FitToWindow), but still no luck.
I'm also unable to Stop or Exit the camera in order to connect to a second device.
I then tried to look at you're C# example and was horrified to see that you guys didn't even bother using the .Net wrapper you have provided and instead resorted to talking directly to the SDK.
I can only assume this is because this .Net wrapper is bogus. Should I be going the same route as you're C# example, or is there an example that uses the .net wrapper that works and I can look at?
I have now wasted 3 days of my time attempting to use the documentation and I'm getting no where and would really appreciate any advice or guidance you could provide me with.

I thought they were only in relationship with the color images, not gray-scale images, but I find the Color Saturation adjustment enable in the "image enhancement" page of ThorCam
settings. Actually I don't want the auto adjustment functions because I need the RAW data from read-out of CMOS.
2. When saving images by ThorCam with DCC1240M, the only file format for selection is JPEG format.
However, JPEG-compression is a kind of lossy compression. Can I save single frame image with lossless compression format? How?
If you could drop me a line I would appreciate it. Thank you for your support. jlow
(posted 2015-03-25 03:10:28.0) Response from Jeremy at Thorlabs: The AWB issue and the saving of single frame image with lossless format will be addressed in the 2.5.0 version of our software. We are currently testing this version and expect to release it very shortly. gesuele
(posted 2015-03-17 06:17:09.627) Hi, I would be interested to use the DCC1645C for colorimetry, after calibration of the R,G,B channels. Could you provide the raw data for the calibration (showed in the sensitivity tab). Also is the A/D unit level linear with the photon fluence? Is it possible to retrieve the RED, Green and Blu image from the software?
Thanks jlow
(posted 2015-03-25 03:37:28.0) Response from Jeremy at Thorlabs: The A/D unit should be linear as long as the gamma is set to 1.00. The images can be saved as RGB, so those information are present. However, retrieving those planes and separating them is not supported with our current software. JHakanss

(posted 2014-10-16 23:59:35.143) I purchased one of these recently expecting the software to be similar to an analogous model I bought from Edmund Optics. While it's mostly similar, thorcam for some reason only offers video as multiframe TIFF instead of avi with jpeg compression (which I am used to from the Edmund software). As both your software and the EO software are presumably built from the same SDK (that I have neither interest in nor time to mess with), is there a version of thorcam that allows saving to any kind of compressed video format? Multipage full-frame tiffs at 30fps are really only good for 10s of seconds at most before they become incredibly big, and this really decreases the utility of the software and thus the camera itself. jlow

(posted 2014-09-26 09:59:46.047) I have switched to use DCC3240N with Thorcam V2.2. There is a poor quality jpeg RGB output only while the sensor is a NIR monochrome one. How can I get a BMP or PNG output with a higher quality and in monochrome format (pixel, intensity). You are not providing a Tiff output for this type of camera which is ridiculous. There is no option for false color preview of monochrome images. The output file is only supporting 8 bits which is smaller than the 10 bit contrast of the sensor. All of these options are available in other commercial products... jlow
(posted 2014-10-03 08:11:44.0) Response from Jeremy at Thorlabs: Thank you very much for your feedback regarding the software. ThorCam produces a monochrome image but in a 24-bit color arrangement with equal RGB values to achieve the monochrome rendering. Multipage TIFF files are produced during recording sequences, but they are likewise arranged as 24-bit color frames with R=G=B. For 10-bit monochrome acquisition, you would have to use the camera SDK for the moment. We will be implementing your requests in a future update of the software. There's a work around if you are OK with 8-bit TIFF. Since you did not leave your contact info, can you e-mail us at techsupport@thorlabs.com about this please? amani

I am writing to ask whether the DCC3240 series of cameras has an ASCOM compatible driver available and if not, is your SDK free for use so that someone in the public domain could create one?
The WDM compatibility of the camera makes it available to some Astronomy applications, but an ASCOM driver would increase application compatibility considerably. I would be interested in writing such a ASCOM driver using your SDK if nobody has already done so.
If you could drop me a line I would appreciate it.

When downloading the Windows setup, I'll get the uc480.h, .lib and .dll for x86 and x64. But under Linux (Ubuntu) those files are named ueye.h and ueye_api.so. According to the content of the headers, these libraries differ. Of course, I can include a differentiation in my program to switch between uc480 and ueye. But it appears to me that the uc480 should be available for Linux systems as well (e.g. to be found in the uc480.h as "DRIVER_DLL_NAME". The manual does also not mention any such (naming) issue.

Please note also that the bandpass filter for the red channel has a quite high transmission in the NIR such that an extra IT filter is used on those cameras. npalaci4

I got a DCC1645C camera for colorimetry, reading some literature of the CCD cameras I found that for this purposing, the cameras have to pass over a linealization process, I was wondering if this camera does have a linear relationship between the RGB values vs. the luminance. Do you have some extra information that shows the behavior of linealization or non-linealization of this camera?
Thank you so much

We recently bought a DCC1545M camera from Thorlabs. It turns out that the image adjusting capabilities of the viewer software are not entirely sufficient for our purposes. We were therefore wondering if you would be able to provide instructions to interface the camera with Matlab? Specifically, we are interested in live acquisition and subsequent display of the images through Matlab after some simple image processing.
Thank you in advance, Fabrizio Gabbiani jvigroux
(posted 2012-10-22 08:55:00.0) A response form Julien at Thorlabs: Thank you for your feedback! This issue is most probably related to the fact that the allocated memory in openCV for this camera is too small. The camera will typically deliver an image having the same size as the memory that is allocated for this image. This means taht if this size is too small, the resolution will be automatically reduced. I will contact you directly to see how the declaration of the memory space was made and if this could be the reason for the issue. furqan

Why is that so, why it is running on small resolution. whats wrong I am doing. I have re-installed the software, did everything that I can do but still it gives low resolution. Kindly if possible then reply me soon with solution. Thanks jvigroux
(posted 2012-10-04 13:26:00.0) A response form Julien at Thorlabs: Thank you for your inquiry! The number of camera that can be used is high (>50). The main practical limitation is usually not the amount of devices the USB protocol can deal with but rather the bandwidth available on the computer or on the USB hubs used. The maximum bandwidth is 480Mb/s which means that if the number of information transiting over the bus is higher than this, the frame rate will have to be lowered. As far as the software is concerned, one instance will need to be opened for each camera used. This limitation of course does not apply when the SDK is used and several cameras can be read out simultaneously. stranick

(posted 2012-08-07 11:38:29.0) Hi there,
I purchased a DCC1545M camera, which works fine.
I use the camera in preview mode only, to monitor the events in a microscope setup.
I'm wondering if there is a easy way to increase the contrast of the picture. I'm used to the Leica camera software... There you have an histogram of the pictures gray levels, and you can chose two gray values between which your picture information lies, and make these two values the new black and white in your picture. In this way you can e.g. make a 0.3-gray displayed black and a 0.4-gray being displayed white. Correspondingly, the contrast of everything inbetween increases drastically.
Is there any easy way of doing something similar? Free third party software?
I managed to get a preview from the camera in Matlab. However, if i want to manipulate the image data, I think I have to plot every single frame, and then I end up with roughly 2 frames per second...
Any suggestions? jvigroux

This functionnality was originally designed however for implementation within C/C++ or visual basic. the ActiveX controls are based on the dll ad thus require the use of the header file in the code. It will thus be necessary to go through MEX files at some point. This in turn means that it would probably be more efficient to stick to the C++ driver and implement the complete controls in Matlab using MEX files. This approach would probably correspond to the same programming effort but would offer more control possibilities than the activeX approach.

The camera worked as expected for ~15 minutes, but then it stopped. I unplugged and plugged it back in, but when I ran the UC480 viewer software I received an error saying that no UC480 camera was present. I uninstalled and reinstalled the software to no avail. Moreover, if I look at Device Manager, nothing appears when I plug in the camera under the Universal Serial Bus controllers section.

Making the external hardware trigger interface available requires a redesign of housing of the camera, plus a few other changes that would drive cost up. Regarding your second question about the flash and long term exposure, these features are available only if the camera has a hardware interface for trigger and flash, as our CCD DCU series cameras do. The flash is controlled via a kind of "trigger out" port, and long term exposure is possible only with external triggering. So it is not only a question of the software not supporting this, but the hardware does not allow for this feature, either. I will contact you directly for further support. paul.s.hamilton

In the manual, you see the PC board inside has a spot for a 9-pin connector which has pins for triggering (as well as 2 strobes, power, and most likely the USB signals). Thorlabs (or your supplier), why dont you make this feature available to us without having to hack it ourselves? The cameras are infinitely more useful with the external triggering....Along these lines, I was wondering if there are any experts on the software that can tell me if the flash or long-term exposure features can be used with the DCCs. The uc480 viewer software doesnt allow it but the spec sheet for the CMOS chip suggests it should be possible. jjurado

Based on the exact nature of your problem, we could send you the newest version of our driver, which solves a couple of windows 7 related issues. Should this not help further, we could also have two engineers log onto your system through VPN so that they could help directly with the troubleshooting. We will proceed and send you the new driver as soon as we have your contact information. Please contact techsupport@thorlabs.com. user
(posted 2011-02-10 09:09:37.0) We have purchased three cameras for our experiments and hope to use it to build prototypes. However, the Labview driver does not work well on our Windows 7 64bit PC. It stops working when you change the camera settings. We have to unplug the USB cable and restart the program when that happenes. We have communicated with the customer support for awhile but did not get the issue resolved. We really need the person who developed the Labview driver to communicate with us so that the camera can be useful. jjurado
(posted 2011-02-01 18:30:00.0) Response from Javier at Thorlabs to grjgordo: Thank you very much for submitting your inquiry. All camera settings can be set either to automatic or to manual. Concerning the contrast, several parameters can be set manually when autocontrast is deactivated. This includes gamma, gain (for each color when using a color camera) and dark level. Those functions can be accessed by going into the device properties under the tab "Image". You can go to page 49 of the manual for more details. I will contact you directly in case you have any further questions. grjgordo
(posted 2011-01-26 19:53:39.0) First of all this is an excellent little camera and software for the price. However, is there any way you can adjust the contrast on this CMOS camera manually. The auto-contrast feature does not work very well. In the histogram showing the distribution of pixel intensities from 0-255, almost all of my pixel values are in the middle of the range for the preparation I am looking at. If I could simply manually adjust the contrast to spread the pixel histogram out my image would look much better. Is there any way to do this?
Thanks Buki at Thorlabs
(posted 2011-01-26 20:03:16.0) It doesnt matter what you set the frame rate to since the actual transfer is limited by the USB data transfer. With several USB devices connected most PCs transfer via USB about 12 frames per second. You can run two instances for two cameras but the frame rate drops even more. USB is a shared commodity so the more peripherals, the slower it gets. user

(posted 2011-01-11 00:22:20.0) Response from Tor at Thorlabs to Vivian: Thank you for your inquiry. The area of interest of the camera can be set from the software directly from the task bar menu as explained in section 6.2 of the manual (http://www.thorlabs.de/Thorcat/19400/19418-D02.pdf). Also the option "show only Area of interest" from the view tab should be selected.
In order to set allow an as fast as possible data transfer from the camera to the computer, the pixel clock should be set to its maximum value. Also the exposure should be set to the fastest value possible given the amount of light to be detected. Finally, any reduction of the amount of data to be transferred will increase the number of images per second that are sent to the computer. This can be achieved by reducing the AOI or by increasing he subsampling (section 6.4.3 of the manual) tor

(posted 2010-10-06 04:29:18.0) A response from Julien at Thorlabs: The camera needs a given bandwidth in order to work properly. When a USB hub is used for the camera plus another device, the bandwidth sharing will in most cases lead to errors from the camera. The easiest solution is to dedicate one full USB port to the camera. chiesl
(posted 2010-10-05 16:43:31.0) Hi, camera works great on its own. But I run into connectivity problems when using other USB DAQ cards through a hub (NI-6501).
When camera and two DAQ cards are plugged directly into labtop, everything works fine. Camera + hub (nothing in hub) camera works. Camera + hub + plugging in a DAQ card freezes the video until I unplug the DAQ card. My hub is powered (5V 3 amp max) so I dont think its power related. Same problem occurs when using an ocean optics spectrometer instead of the DAQ card peripherals...
Any suggestions? lgs251

(posted 2010-09-02 18:15:14.0) A response from Julien at Thorlbas to Johane: Did you try to set the frame rate at its minimum value? The software of the DCx cameras is written in such a way that one first sets the frame rate to a fixed value and the exposure time can then be set within the range that allows the camera to operate at this given frame rate. About your other question, it is not directly possible to change the camera ID in Labview but you can do it through the camera manager. This procedure needs to be done only once since the camera ID is directly written in the EEPROM. I will send you an email with a prerelease version of the Labview manual and the exact procedure to change the camera ID. Thorlabs

(posted 2010-04-21 09:47:49.0) A response from Julien at Thorlabs: USB uses a tree topology and is host controlled. That means that a PC with host functionality is
required for the DCC and DCU cameras. With hubs and/or repeater the
root hub’s connection facilities can be extended. Therefore in order to connect two DCC1545M to a computer, the first camera can be connected to the computer directly and the second needs to be connected through a USB hub.
About your second question, the UC480 viewer does not offer the possibility to display false color image. However, an extensive function library as well as several example programs can be used to easily obtain this type of images in other environment, like for instance Labview. filip1
