Versatile CMOS Cameras for Microscopy and Biotechnology

Stemmer Imaging offers the uEye LE series of ultra-compact, low-cost cameras from IDS, designed specifically for applications in microscopy, biotechnology and medicine. The USB interface allows easy interfacing with a wide variety of systems. Available in board level and lightweight C/CS-Mount housing variants, the cameras feature high-performance colour and monochrome CMOS sensors ranging from wide VGA resolution (752 x 480 pixels) up to 10 megapixel resolution (3840 x 2478). Key imaging features include long term exposure, binning and ROI readout for increased sensitivity and frame rate capabilities. Camera versions with built-in trigger and strobe are available in addition to two general purpose I/O. moreMay. 03, 2010

On-the-fly Firmware

IDS Imaging Development Systems announced new functionality for its cameras of the GigE uEye SE and RE series. As of driver version 3.60, these cameras now support the transfer of images at the sensor's full color depth. The extended functionality provided by the new firmware is available immediately through a simple driver update in the PC. This way, even camera systems in the field can quickly and easily benefit from the new features.
Even cameras in the field can take advantage of driver 3.60 and achieve a higher performance. moreJul. 01, 2007

Vista Compatible IDS Software Driver

Vista Compatible IDS Software Driver: The new software driver version 2.40 for the UEye cameras from IDS now supports the latest Microsoft operating system (32-bit). The most interesting new feature is the possibility of flash exposure in free-run mode. This function was previously only available in trigger mode. In free-run mode the camera sensor works autonomously and at maximum speed. While one captured image is being transmitted, the next image is exposed. This provides very high frame rates. more
