Cheap Logitech Webcam Pro 9000


When I got the Logitech QuickCam Pro 9000 I immediately put it through its paces, but not the types of standard web-based applications one might about. Rather I utilized the camera as a workhorse in a scientific research laboratory, collecting time-lapse images of biological samples. What makes this particular application tricky is that I wished to image the samples under a background of dim infrared light. Older versions of the QuickCam were incompatible with such an application unless a small infrared-blockinglens was first removed (something that was not trivial). To my pleasant surprise the Pro 9000 is sufficiently IR senstive to be tested for my application. In fact the Pro 9000 performed with flying colors, delivering very high quality images of high resolution, capable of detailed subsequent digital analysis. The optics on this camera are of the highest quality for such a small unit - Zeiss was the way to go!

While the application described here is not the norm I believe it fully illustrates the power of this little camera. Highly recommended for simple digital imaging for electronic communications, as well as finer applications like that described above.Get more detail about Logitech Webcam Pro 9000.
