Lumenera is currently developing the INFINITY3S-1UR, a best-in-class USB 3.0 microscopy camera based on Sony’s new ICX825 1.4 megapixel CCD sensor. Sony has made several improvements on the popular ICX285 sensor design by including the EXview HAD CCD IITM structure with the ICX825 sensor to provide a much higher performance while maintaining the 6.45 x 6.45 µm pixel size.
Key performance improvements for the ICX825 include:
- 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
