Lumenera Corporation Releases Unique 5 Megapixel CCD USB 2.0 Scientific Camera

Lumenera Corporation announces the release of the INFINITY2-5 digital CCD USB 2.0 camera. The INFINITY2-5 is engineered for qualitative image archiving in life science, clinical and material science applications where higher resolution and excellent sensitivity are of the utmost importance.

The INFINITY2-5 was designed in response to the demand for a higher resolution CCD-based camera. This 5.0 megapixel camera employs the Sony Super HAD ICX655 high quality 2/3” sensor featuring 3.45 micron square pixels. An 8-bit output is available for capturing fast video of live events, or 14-bit for quantifying data. The high speed output combined with a high dynamic range has resulted in a versatile entry-level research camera. Additional product highlights include:

• superb color reproduction in clinical-stained samples for outstanding image quality;
• full color sub-windowing for rapid focus and scanning of samples;
• 8.5 fps at full 2448 x 2048 resolution (up to 23 fps at 640 x 480 with ROI);
