FEBRUARY 26, 2009--The INFINITY3-1U color camera offers 6.45 x 6.45-µm pixels in a 2/3-in. format with a maximum resolution of 1392 x 1040. The Sony ICX285 1.4-Mpixel CCD sensor performs in low light conditions, making it suitable for both fluorescent and brightfield imaging. The camera's adaptability for various resolution and frame rate requirements, combined with low noise performance and 8- or 12-bit pixel data mode, make it appropriate for both live and fixed cell imaging. Live video preview allows for real-time focus; auto exposure and auto/manual white balance efficiently capture the optimal image. The complete solution includes INFINITY CAPTURE and INFINITY ANALYZE software and is offered with both color and monochrome capability. Advanced camera control is available through a software developer's kit; TWAIN and DIRECTX drivers ensure integration and compatibility with a variety of third-party software applications.
