INFINITY 2-2
The INFINITY 2-2 is one of Lumenera's most popular scientific cameras, offering the perfect balance of resolution, colour reproduction, sensitivity and high-speed preview. The multi-purpose INFINITY 2-2
provides laboratories with the ability to perform a variety of applications, replacing the need for multiple camera systems. Whether you are performing brightfield or fluorescence microscopy, this is the perfect solution for your technique.
Superior sensitivity and colour reproduction
Years of experience in the microscopy market have allowed Lumenera to develop specialised algorithms ensuring superior colour reproduction. Additionally, INFINITY software allows the adjustment of all live preview colour facets, enabling
users to apply their own personal preferences to each image. For lower light applications, the Sony CCD sensor has an extremely high dynamic range, resulting in excellent camera sensitivity.
Full image analysis software included
INFINITY CAPTURE, an intuitive image capture program, and INFINITY ANALYZE, a full image analysis package offering camera control, measurement, annotations, 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 installing 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.
