Life Science & Clinical ApplicationsGenetics/Biology/PathologyBPAA CELLS TAKEN WITH INFINITY3-1MPARAMECIUM TAKEN WITH INFINITY1-2CFluorescenceProducing clear, well-contrasted fluorescent images is a challenge due to theextremely low light signals produced by the sample. Typically, images tend tobe noisy and preview frame rates are reduced to a point where noticeable lagoccurs. Lumenera’s INFINITY cameras offer a higher dynamic range andoptional thermoelectric cooling to address these challenges, resulting insmooth clear images and fast preview speeds.Stained SamplesTo ensure proper identification and diagnosis of stained samples, precisecolor is required. Benefit from years of INFINITY software developmentto produce excellent color in your biological samples. Difficult transitioncolors such as pinks, purples and browns that are improperly reproduced bymany other cameras on the market today are easily achieved by Lumenera’sadvanced algorithms.Live ImagingCombine INFINITY software with our high-speed USB 2.0 cameras to createsmooth clear videos of live events.

Our unique options forOEM custom software features and hardwarecamera design offer the following advantages:• Improve Time-to-Market• Reduce Development Costs• Differentiate from the CompetitionComparing USB 2.0 to FireWireVideo performance in digital cameras is defi nedby the maximum frame rate at a given resolutionand is measured in frames per second (fps).Both FireWire and high-speed USB 2.0 digitalcameras exhibit almost identical frame rates byresolution. These frame rates are usually limitedby the sensor read-out rate — not the physicalinterface. As an example, a 1 megapixel CCDsensor using a FireWire or USB 2.0 interface islimited to 15 or 30 fps depending on thecamera model. As resolution increases, framerates decrease.USB 2.0: 480 Mbit/s, 15 fps, plug-and-play.99% of computers have USB 2.0 ports.Firewire: 400 Mbit/s, 15 fps. Most computersneed a FireWire card installed — somelaptops may not have the space required.USB 2.0 is an ideal interface for scientificcameras, offering plug-and-play with allcomputers, while providing more than enoughthroughput for it’s selected image sensors.INFINITY Mac SoftwareA Mac Camera Driver and ImageJ Plug-In areavailable for the following INFINITY cameras:• INFINITY1-2 • INFINITY1-3• INFINITY1-5 • INFINITY2-1• INFINITY2-2 • INFINITY2-5• INFINITY3-1 • INFINITY3-1U• INFINITY4-11Visit www.lumenera.com/support/downloads/microscopy-downloads.php to download thelatest version.* Mac Software is not available for the INFINITY2-3or INFINITYX cameras.For more information e-mailscientifi csales@lumenera.comTo better serve you, Lumenera has forged strategicpartnerships with distributors and system integratorsworld wide.
