Jenoptik has now added two USB camera types to its ProgRes® CCD microscope camera range: ProgRes^® SpeedXT^core 3 and ProgRes^® SpeedXT^core 5. With 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.

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

Users benefit from the optimized 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 seconds ensure optimum captured images, also under low-light conditions. The maximum possible color depth is 36 bit.
