research-intensive university selects LUMENERA INFINITY MICROSCOPY CAMERAS AS IMAGING SOLUTION FOR STATE-OF-THE-ART BIOLOGY LABS

U of O Biology LabUniversity of Ottawa undergraduate students returned to the labs this semester to find the microscopy stations newly equipped with Lumenera’s INFINITY2-3 and INFINTY3-1 color digital cameras.  The Biology Department needed to upgrade its imaging solution for the Olympus CX31 and Olympus SZ61 microscopes currently in use. With the capacity to teach 392 lab students, the University wanted new, high quality microscopy cameras based on a USB 2.0 interface that offered high performance, and included image analysis software that was intuitive and easy for students to use.

Olympus Canada was awarded the tender to place 365 of Lumenera’s INFINITY microscopy cameras into the Biology Department teaching labs at the University of Ottawa; one of Canada’s leading research intensive universities.

“This year we decided to partner with Olympus and Lumenera to replace our digital cameras, so that we could keep moving forward with our state of the art lab facilities,” said Lise Bélanger, Technical Supervisor for the Department of Biology.  “We chose Lumenera’s INFINITY2-3 digital cameras on the basis of a good quality camera, with a strong price- to- performance ratio that also came with a very user friendly software package. We also enjoy the advantage of having a local supplier with whom we have developed an excellent relationship”.

In 2004 the Biology Department moved into its new undergraduate teaching facility which includes a total of 10 labs.   Each lab is equipped with a workstation that is a unique combination of a traditional wet bench and microscopy station, paired with a modern computer and monitor. Students work in pairs with a compound and dissection microscopes, which are now equipped with Lumenera’s INFINITY2-3 camera connected to the workstation’s computer. The 355 INFINITY2-3, 3 megapixel microscopy cameras and 10 INFINTY3-1, 1.4 megapixel cooled cameras are replacing cameras that were based on a FireWire interface for greater ease of use and the eliminated need for a FireWire card.

U of O Biology Lab
The students have had a chance to put the new cameras to use, and are happy with the improvements they have experienced so far.  “We have received positive feedback from the students and faculty regarding the new INFINITY cameras,” said Lise Bélanger. Lumenera ensured timely delivery of the large volume of cameras to synchronize with the start of the new school year.   The team at Lumenera worked closely with the University to provide comprehensive support with delivery, hardware and software configurations.

CMOS Sensor Technologies – Can They Help with Traffic Congestion?
Many of us share in the same daily frustration of sitting in slow moving traffic as we make our way to and from work. I believe that we can thank rapid population growth and urbanization for bringing about a rise in traffic that has outpaced road capacity, resulting in the loss of productive working hours, environmental pollution, wasted fuel and precious energy resources. Fortunately for all of us, new technologies are greatly improving the solutions available, each bringing their share of benefits and drawbacks.

Lumenera Hosts Family Fun-Day Appreciation Event

At Lumenera, we pride ourselves on being a social company. We have an excellent Social Committee who plan and organize monthly events ranging from family skating to employee boat cruises. We also share in each other’s personal and professional accomplishments at monthly "All Staff" meetings, focused on maintaining an excellent corporate culture.

This summer, the social committee organized a family fun-day event at our head office in Ottawa.

Lumenera President, Huw Leahy takes employees and their children for a tour of the manufacturing area to see first-hand how our cameras are made.

 

 

 

The family fun-day event was complete with bouncy castles, inflatable sides, games and of course our favorite carnival treats like cotton candy and popcorn. Thank you to the Lumenera social committee for organizing a great event.

COMMUNITY SUPPORT

Lumenera Green Initiative Updates

Lumenera launched a Green initiative in 2010 and has remained committed to this campaign since that time to help improve the environment and local community.

We are committed to promoting a “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle” attitude within our culture and believe that every effort made by its employees counts.

A new initiative recently undertaken is the launch of the Green payroll. In an effort to support a paperless environment, we are pleased to announce that the production and distribution of paper pay stubs and HR forms has been discontinued. Employees now use a secure online system to retrieve their pay records and submit forms such as vacation requests. This initiative not only saves the cost and time associated with tracking and distributing pay stubs and paper forms, it also reduces the amount of paper and ink used for printing them. This is an ongoing initiative with long-term green benefits.

An ongoing effort that was one of the first undertakings of Lumenera's Green Committee is the tree planting program. For every Lumenera website visitor who completes the contact us form, Lumenera will plant one tree. Providing information is completely voluntary. Since the initiative started Lumenera has planted over 3,000 trees. Thank you to everyone who participated.
