Vision Source is pleased to announce the release of a new ultra sensitive high color fidelity CCD scientific camera from Lumenera Corporation. This newest USB 2.0 offering from the popular INFINITY family of microscopy cameras is an ideal solution for low light applications such as fluorescence, and where precise color reproduction is needed.

The INFINITY3-1U offers large 6.45μ x 6.45μ pixels in a 2/3" format with a maximum resolution of 1392 x 1040. It employs the Sony ICX285 1.4 megapixel CCD sensor - the market leader for fluorescence and other challenging low light applications. In addition, the cameras near-perfect color rendition makes it an excellent addition to any clinical laboratory. Suitable for both fluorescent and brightfield imaging, this camera offers an excellent price-to-performance ratio.

The camera's adaptability to vary resolution and frame rate requirements, combined with low noise performance and 8- or 12-bit pixel data mode, make the INFINITY3-1U an ideal camera for both live and fixed cell imaging. Live video preview allows for real-time focus; while auto exposure and auto/manual white balance efficiently capture your optimal image. This complete solution includes Lumenera's INFINITY CAPTURE and INFINITY ANALYZE software, and is offered with both color and monochrome capability. Advanced camera control is available through a Software Developers Kit, while TWAIN and DIRECTX drivers ensure integration and compatibility with a variety of 3rd party software applications.

The INFINITY3-1U is a perfect complement to the existing INFINITY3-1 cooled camera, designed specifically for low light and fluorescence applications that do not need the extra cost of a Peltier^TM cooler. It offers excellent performance for virtually any application, and priced well below the competition, this camera allows microscope users to meet the highest imaging standards.

Vision Source carries stocks of INFINITY cameras which they will happily demonstrate to potential users directly from their factory in Somerset or through their regionally situated dealer network.
