PRESS RELEASE

Breakthrough in CCD speed – Jenoptik presents new ProgRes® SpeedXT core microscope cameras.

The Digital Imaging business unit of the Jenoptik Optical Systems Division has now added two USB camera types to its ProgRes® CCD microscope camera range: ProgRes® SpeedXT core 3 and ProgRes® SpeedXT core 5. These product novelties are the first to feature Jenoptik’s innovative SpeedXT core technology.

The impressive live image speed of 17 fps (SpeedXT core 3) and 13 fps (SpeedXT core 5) at the maximum possible resolution of 2080 x 1542 pixel (SpeedXT core 3) and 2580 x 1944 pixel (SpeedXT core 5) is the decisive advantage of the ProgRes® SpeedXT core 3 and 5 cameras. When maximum resolution is not required, even higher frame rates of 30 resp. 45 fps are possible.

Users benefit from the optimised workflow: thanks to the 2-3 fold enhancement of the live image speed in combination with the high resolution, specimens can be focused and positioned more easily and quickly – a clear advantage in the analysis of moving objects and routine work in laboratories. Exposure times up to 180 s ensure optimum captured images, also under low-light conditions. The maximum possible color depth is 36 bit.

Fielding this new product range, Jenoptik is meeting the increased requirements of a large user community in the industrial and scientific areas demanding perfect image quality in connection with outstanding speed.

A perfect fit in every laboratory
In combination with C-Mount connection, the new ProgRes® SpeedXT core 3 and 5 cameras be easily and rapidly connected to any microscope, computer or notebook via the USB 2.0 interface.

Flexible and ready for action
The included ProgRes® CapturePro image capture software represents an additional attractive aspect for users. The software can be easily and quickly installed, enabling users to immediately capture brilliant images in excellent, acknowledged Jenoptik quality.

ProgRes® CapturePro offers extensive functionalities, an intuitive user interface and Windows 7 compatibility (64 bit). Registered users benefit from regular and free of charge software updates.

Convincing price-performance ratio
The prices of the new, performance-enhanced USB-camera types SpeedXT core 3 and SpeedXT core 5 have been kept stable, in line with the established FireWire-camera types.

The SpeedXT core 3 and 5 USB types will debut at CONTROL 2010 in Stuttgart, and will be available from May 2010 at qualified specialist dealers. Further information is available at: www.jenoptik.com/progres
