PARTNERSHIP

Lumenera Aids LanSchool in Creating Effective Classroom Management Tools

Lumenera’s INFINITY cameras can now be used with LanSchool’s management solution to provide classrooms, laboratories, and other learning environments with a comprehensive networking administration tool. LansSchool can help teach students more effectively and allow laboratories to setup scalable microscopy networks.

When learning digital microscopy in a classroom setting students can become easily distracted by other applications on their computers (games, internet browsing, IM etc.) and lose focus of the task at hand. Lumenera and Lanschool offer educational laboratories a complete solution by monitoring computers so instructors can view who is on task or who needs help. By removing the challenge of monitoring these distractions the learning experience becomes easier and yields greater success.

Lumenera’s LanSchool empowers educators to facilitate the student learning experience:
- Provide live demonstrations by showing their monitor to the students.
- Remove distractions and limit access to certain software applications.
- Monitor students through real-time thumbnail monitoring.
- Grab attention by blanking out individual monitors.
- Assist students from their desk through remote control and chat.
- Assess student understanding through student voting polls.

LanSchool also offers laboratories the capability of creating a scalable microscopy network. Up to 48 of Lumenera’s INFINITY cameras can be controlled from one central location.

Real World Application: Microscopy for Diagnosing Cancer

Lumenera’s high performance cameras can be a critical element in diagnosing cancerous cells as they allow for the clear, accurate images needed to analyze samples and gather crucial information.

Precise color reproduction, megapixel resolution, and high-speed preview are important factors in sample imaging. It is imperative that the colors observed in a microscope match those found in the final image of the sample, and that the image retains its consistency upon enlargement. This ensures a proper diagnosis of the suspected cancer. Lumenera's INFINITY line of cameras are an ideal solution for ensuring sample images are precise and clear.

The INFINITYX-32, a 32 megapixel CCD microscopy camera can be used by pathologists in this clinical application. Specialized microscopy cameras allow users to view a live preview of their sample, capture an image and perform any post capture processing needed. The camera uses a native 2.0 megapixel sensor and offers selectable capture resolutions ranging from 2 to 32 megapixel via pixel-shifting technology.
