INFINITYX-21

21 Megapixel Scientific Pixel Shifting USB 2.0 Camera

INFINITY3

Lumenera’s INFINITYX-21 digital camera is designed to be a flexible microscopy tool for clinical, life sciences, materials sciences, and educational professionals where high-resolution images are essential.

Variable resolutions up to 21 megapixel allow users to take full advantage of their microscope optics in capturing the sharpest image conceivable.

Patented DeltaVU™ technology represents a breakthrough in sub pixel shifting imaging. The technology ensures more accurate color for detailed image documentation. The result is an increase in image resolution and precise color accuracy. Live video preview provides for real-time focus.

Every INFINITY camera includes INFINITY ANALYZE software for advanced camera control, image processing, measuring and annotation, as well as INFINITY CAPTURE, an intuitive user interface which includes all of the basic features needed to control your INFINITY camera and capture images

The INFINITYX-21 is available in color or monochrome, as well as OEM form factors including board-level and custom enclosures.

INFINITY cameras are supported by an experienced team of technical support and imaging experts.  We understand your imaging needs and are here to help you get the most out of your camera.

  • CMOS Sensors
  • Today’s CMOS sensors offer unique strengths and provide excelling imaging performance for a variety of applications. Talk to your Lumenera representative to determine the camera that best fits your application and budgetary requirements.
  • TWAIN & MAC Compliant
  • Lumenera uses a generic TWAIN-based driver for all INFINITY cameras, allowing communication with most popular third party software such as Photoshop and many LIMS packages. Also available is a Mac quick-time plug-in that enables direct camera control through ImageJ, NIH’s Imaging Software.
  • Common SDK for Ease of Integration
  • When choosing a camera, one key differentiator to consider is ease of integration. All of Lumenera’s USB 2.0 cameras are designed on a common SDK, eliminating design risk and allowing for easy integration and camera exchange.
