Thank you for installing the host software for our cameras, including the ThorCam imaging application.

If you wish to run ThorCam, you can exit this page and run it from the start menu (Press the Start button, then select Thorlabs -> Scientific Imaging -> ThorCam).

Save Time. Identify Your Camera Family!

If you selected our full installation, you will see folders and files for both our camera families. Though both run with ThorCam, their underlying drivers, SDK, and third-party support are very different and will not interoperate! Save time by identifying your camera family and selecting only the support required for your camera.

Scientific Cameras have a large black and red aluminum case. The Scientific Camera family has its own drivers (Camera Link and Gigabit Ethernet) and SDK.
