Ultra-Sensitive, 1.4 Megapixel CCD USB 3.0 Camera
Lumenera’s INFINITY3S-1UR is a high-speed, ultra-sensitive research grade microscopy camera with 1.4 megapixel resolution. The camera incorporates Sony’s new ICX825 CCD sensor, producing much higher dynamic range and sensitivity over the popular ICX285 sensor. The INFINITY3S-1UR has the unmatched light sensitivity needed for challenging low light applications such as fluorescence and NIR imaging. Lumenera’s high-speed USB 3.0 data interface provides maximum allowable throughput where full resolution images can be sent to a host computer at an industry leading 60 fps.
Key Performance Improvements for the ICX825:
The Sony ICX825 CCD sensor produces a 70% improvement in sensitivity over the popular ICX285 sensor. This sensor technology offers extremely high quantum efficiency, high dynamic range, 6.45 x 6.45 μm pixels and very low noise of 5.9 e-. The research-grade designation of the INFINITY3S-1UR is a testament to low noise electronics, high-grade components and unique thermal management techniques.
- 6dB increase in dynamic range vs ICX285
- 7dB improvement in QE at 850nm in the NIR range vs ICX285
- Increased sensitivity thus reducing exposure time and reducing photo bleaching in fluorescence applications
- Increased frame rate of over 60fps vs 30fps for the ICX285
High Speed USB 3.0 Interface:
The INFINITY3S-1UR uses the latest USB 3.0 technology at 5 Gbits/sec to deliver the fastest image transfer – even at its highest resolution. Lumenera’s USB 3.0 cameras are backwards compatible with USB 2.0 for those not needing the full speed of the camera.
The ICX825 design increases sensitivity by 3.7 dB, and dynamic range by 6 dB over the ICX285 sensor.
