INFINITY3-1

1.4 Megapixel Cooled Scientific USB 2.0 Camera

INFINITY3

Lumenera’s INFINITY3-1 camera is designed for use in a wide variety of scientific applications. Cooled models are ideal in low-light conditions and where high dynamic range is required.

With 1392x1040 resolution and on-board processing, these cameras deliver outstanding image quality and value for industrial and scientific imaging applications. Uncompressed images in live streaming video and still-image capture are provided across a USB 2.0 digital interface.

Hardware and software based synchronization trigger is available as an option provided. On-board memory is available for frame buffering. The INFINITY3-1 is available in color or monochrome, as well as OEM form factors including board-level and custom enclosures.

The INFINITY3-1 includes INFINITY ANALYZE software for advanced camera control, image processing, measuring and annotation, and INFINITY CAPTURE, an intuitive user interface which includes all of the basic features needed to control your INFINITY camera and capture images. Both color and monochrome product models are available.

All Lumenera products are supported by an experienced team of software developers and application engineers. We understand your imaging needs and are here to help you with your integration and development.

  • CCD Sensors
  • CCD sensors have traditionally been best suited for applications that demand the highest quality images with challenging light conditions and where quantification is required.
  • TWAIN & MAC Compliant
  • A generic TWAIN driver for all INFINITY cameras allows communication with the most popular third party software. Also available is a Mac quick-time plug-in that enables direct camera control through ImageJ, NIH’s Imaging Software.
