Lumenera’s 1.4 megapixel research-grade USB 2.0 camera offers very low dark current noise for custom and OEM applications. Product highlights include a high quality Sony HAD ICX205 CCD sensor, vivid color response with color model and excellent NIR sensitivity.
LOW NOISE CCD SENSOR WITH GLOBAL SHUTTER
Lumenera’s and Lw135R digital cameras have improved noise performance over their predecessors. These redesigned research-grade cameras accumulate very little dark current noise making them ideal for OEM applications that require long integration times including gel documentation, microplate readers, PCR, cell counting and machine vision. High sensitivity allows these cameras to be deployed in the most light-challenged applications. With a fully global electronic shutter and small image integration time, this camera can capture high-speed motion images with no blur. The scientific grade option (-SCI) is built under a strictly controlled clean room environment to ensure that there are no visible defects found in the optical path. This is a key requirement for applications using collimated light sources, including custom and OEM microscopy. Board level (Lw135R) as well as custom form factors also available.
VIVID COLOR AND NIR STREAMING VIDEO CONTROL
The Lumenera Camera SDK provides a full suite of features and functions that allow you to maximize the performance of your camera within your application. The SDK is compatible with all USB and GigE-based cameras. Microsoft DirectX/DirectShow, Windows API and .NET API interfaces are provided allowing you the choice of application development environments from C/C++ to VB.NET or C#.NET. Full inline IntelliSense autocompletion and documentation is provided with the .NET API interface and is accompanied by a full API manual describing all the camera functions and properties.
