Featuring a large 1-inch optical format CMOS sensor with large pixel architecture, the INFINITY8-2 provides exceptional light sensitivity, low noise performance, and a wide field of view, making it ideal for imaging weak fluorescent signals and fine biological structures. The large 1-inch sensor format with large pixel architecture allows the camera to collect significantly more light per pixel compared to smaller sensors, delivering exceptional sensitivity for fluorescence imaging and other low-light microscopy applications. This design is particularly valuable for detecting weak fluorescent signals, imaging dim specimens, and reducing exposure times to minimize photobleaching and phototoxicity in live-cell imaging applications. High-speed imaging capability enables frame rates up to 96 frames per second at full resolution (1608 × 1104), providing responsive live imaging and rapid image acquisition. This performance ensures efficient workflows in fluorescence microscopy where rapid screening, real-time observation, and quick capture are essential. The high frame rate also improves the user experience during focusing, specimen positioning, and live demonstrations. FLIC (Fluorescence Illumination Image Capture) technology is Lumenera's proprietary innovation that reduces read noise and improves signal detection in low-light conditions. This technology helps reveal faint fluorescent details with shorter exposure times, reducing photobleaching and enabling more sensitive detection of weak signals. FLIC technology is particularly beneficial for multi-channel fluorescence imaging and time-lapse studies where minimizing light exposure is critical. Monochrome sensor design provides superior sensitivity compared to color cameras by eliminating the color filter array that reduces light transmission. Without the Bayer filter, every pixel receives the full intensity of light, resulting in approximately 2-3 times better sensitivity than equivalent color sensors. This makes monochrome cameras the preferred choice for fluorescence microscopy where maximum sensitivity is essential. INFINITY ANALYZE software provides powerful tools for image acquisition, measurement, annotation, and analysis, delivering a complete microscopy imaging solution without recurring license fees. The software includes calibration tools, measurement functions, image enhancement capabilities, and export options for documentation and reporting. This comprehensive software package eliminates the need for additional imaging software purchases. Universal C-mount compatibility enables easy integration with most modern microscopes from leading manufacturers including Olympus, Nikon, Zeiss, Leica, Mitutoyo, and Keyence. The standard C-mount interface ensures proper mechanical fit and optical alignment, making the INFINITY8-2 suitable for upgrading existing fluorescence microscope systems or integrating into new microscopy setups. The USB 3.0 interface provides fast data transfer and plug-and-play connectivity, enabling efficient workflows in busy research laboratories. The combination of high sensitivity, high speed, and advanced FLIC technology makes the INFINITY8-2 particularly well-suited for fluorescence microscopy, live-cell imaging, and applications requiring exceptional low-light performance. Precision Canadian engineering by Teledyne Lumenera ensures reliable performance and consistent image quality. The robust construction and high-quality components provide the durability required for demanding research and clinical environments where accurate documentation and reproducible results are essential. 🔎 Typical Applications Fluorescence microscopy and low-light imaging Live-cell imaging and time-lapse microscopy Biological and life science research Pathology and histology imaging Materials science and metallography Industrial inspection and quality control 📊 Technical Specifications Specification Value Sensor Type Monochrome CMOS Resolution 1.7 MP (1608 × 1104 pixels) Sensor Format 1" optical format Pixel Architecture Large light-gathering pixels Frame Rate Up to 96 fps Technology FLIC (Fluorescence Illumination Image Capture) Interface USB 3.0 Mount C-mount (standard) Software INFINITY ANALYZE included Microscope Compatibility Olympus, Nikon, Zeiss, Leica, Mitutoyo, Keyence Manufacturer Teledyne Lumenera Country of Origin Canada SKU INFINITY8-2M 🔬 Microscope Compatibility The INFINITY8-2 is compatible with microscopes equipped with trinocular camera ports or C-mount adapters.
