INFINITY 2-1R
The newly engineered INFINITY 2-1R scientific camera offers a significant performance increase for quantitative and low-light applications over its predecessor. Reduced operating temperatures combined with a much higher dynamic range and 14-bit output have resulted in a versatile entry-level research camera. The INFINITY 2-1R easily manages seconds of exposure time with a dark current rating of less than 1 e-/s.
Superior sensitivity
The INFINITY 2-1R has a dynamic range of 64 dB, allowing users to image unevenly lit samples without worry. The resulting images show detail in bright and dark areas not normally seen in lower dynamic range cameras. Advanced thermal management allows for long exposure times of several minutes without the need for a higher priced cooled camera. Full image analysis software included INFINITY CAPTURE, an intuitive image capture program, and INFINITY ANALYZE, a full image analysis package offering camera control, measurement, annotation, tiling and post-capture enhancement, are both included. Camera and software combined to create a complete microscopy imaging solution for your application.
USB 2.0 plug-and-play interface
Sharing and installation of one or more cameras on a single computer is quick and simple through a high-speed USB 2.0 interface. This camera is compatible with the USB 3.0 interface, supporting the existing USB 2.0 frame rates.
Third-party software integration
INFINITY cameras are integrated into a variety of third-party software packages through direct drivers or with TWAIN/DirectX support.
Mac camera software
A Mac camera driver and ImageJ plug-in are available for the INFINITY 2-1R.
Superior Technical Assistance Centre (TAC)
As a Lumenera customer, you gain access to the TAC group and knowledge base, which provide full support for cameras, software and microscopy applications.
