21 Million Pixels and Streaming Video
The Infinity X is designed to satisfy the unique and varried demands of digital microscopy. It offers exceptional fast streaming video at an incredibly high resolution on the computer monitor as well as outstanding resolutions on still images.
The impressive performance and revolutionary resolution of the Infinity X is achieved by combining state-of-the-art sensor design with innovative engineering skills.
A ground-breaking resolution of up to 21 million pixels in precise colour puts the Infinity X in a class all by its own. By integrating DeltaVu, a highly successful, patent pending technology invented by DeltaPix, these incredible resolutions are achieved.
DeltaVu
DeltaVu is a revolutionary new technology designed to dramatically increase the image resolution of a digital camera. The Infinity X has a 1.3 million pixels sensor with Red, Green and Blue colour ήlters placed in standard Bayer pattern.
Through a process of combining precise position information of the sensor, and capturing additional images, by moving the sensor only fractions of the length of a pixel, the DeltaVu technology allows calculation of finer details than the size of a pixel.
This process also includes the same detailed reproduction at all pixel locations in each of the three colour planes, Red, Green or Blue. The result is an impressive image file, where 63 million pixels have captured the information, 21 million pixels for each of the 3 colours (precise colour).
Easy-to-use
The Infinity X is a small and compact digital camera with a standard C-mount interface for flexible attachment to microscopes.
Installation of the electronic connection is also very simple by connecting a single standard USB 2.0 cable between the camera and the computer. The Infinity X uses the USB 2.0 cable for power, control information and the transmission of data. The very low power consumption of the Infinity X has made it possible only to use a single cable.
Fast video
The use of the 480 Mbits/s high-speed architecture of the USB 2.0 standard has allowed the Infinity X to deliver fast streaming colour video in high-resolution on the monitor of the connected computer.
With a rate of 60 frames per second the microscopy image appears on the monitor without delay. The fast live image makes the process of focusing and interactively optimizing the image very easy.
