Lumenera featured in THE AIA's Medical, Microscopy, and Microprocessors: Size Really Does Matter

Lumenera's Director of Business Development for Scientific Markets, Brian Graydon, was featured in Automated Imaging Association's (AIA) article- Medical, Microscopy, and Microprocessors: Size Really Does Matter. The article explains how bigger pixels can give you more bang for your buck. Brian outlines how to cost-effectively reduce dark noise in microscopy applications with the INFINITY3 camera line featuring the Sony ICX285 CCD sensor:

“What makes the ICX285 unique is it has huge pixels,” explains Brian Graydon, Director of Business Development for Scientific Markets at Lumenera Corporation. “A normal CCD has 3.5 micron pixels. The ICX285 sensor is 6.45 microns square designed around low-noise electronics. When we added the thermo electric cooling element to reduce the sensor temperature to 25 degrees below ambient, it basically wiped out the dark noise. We offer the INFINITY3 in cooled and uncooled models because if you have an extremely low-light sample, you may have exposure times in the seconds or minutes. The longer the exposure time, the more dark noise you introduce, and that’s where cooling is critical. If you don't have long exposure times, the uncooled camera may be a better fit.”

Case Study: Lumenera and Opticare Work Together to Diagnose Ophthalmic Diseases

Opticare's Topcon 3D OCT-2000 System with Fundus Camera

Argentinean-based Opticare has been providing technology to diagnose and treat ophthalmic diseases for over 35 years.

A key component to top Ophthalmic equipment is the imaging component inside the instrument. In order to properly diagnose critical eye diseases the camera must produce precise pictures of the retina.

Opticare chose Lumenera's high megapixel USB 2.0 cameras to integrate into their innovative products. Their fundus camera-based systems leverage Lumenera's Lw165 and Lw235 color and monochrome cameras with high sensitivity to acquire retinal color fundus, fluorescein eye stain, ICG, and auto fluorescence images.
