ProgRes® SpeedXT core

SpeedXT core - technology at work!

ProgRes® SpeedXT core 3 and SpeedXT core 5 are the first to feature Jenoptik’s innovative SpeedXT core technology providing very fast live speed rates of 17 fps / 13 fps in full resolution of 3 / 5 mega pixel. Due to the enhancement of the live image speed in combination with high resolution the user is able to precisely focus and easily position specimens in a more efficient way - a clear advantage in the analysis of moving objects and routine work.
Exposure times up to 180 s ensure optimum captured images, also under low-light conditions. The color depth is 36 bit.
The superior color reproduction expected from Jenoptik is of course present in this new camera.

Key Benefits Include:

  • SpeedXT core - outstanding CCD live image speed for easy focussing
  • Excellent image quality and high resolution
  • Perfect color reproduction
  • ProgRes® Capture software for easy operation included
  • Easy and fast installation
  • Excellent price-performance ratio

The CMOS camera models ProgRes CT1, CT3 and CT5 are now equipped with a USB interface. With an extended resolution up to 5 megapixels and a live frame rate up to 20 fps, the new USB camera of the CMOS line delivers faster high resolution with excellent image results.

New in the ProgRes CCD research series are the USB Models ProgRes CS and MS. These extraordinary and very sensitive cameras perform high sensitive imaging with up to 50 fps in full resolution (CCIR/PAL). You can also get the ProgRes CF and MF cameras now with a USB interface with faster live imaging in SXGA resolution with 15 fps.

Jenoptik have adapted the USB interface to our cameras to satisfy the needs of our customer for easy connection. The basic requirement for productive work in life sciences and materials science is the need for fast live preview imaging with excellent colour reproduction. With the new USB 2.0 interface the ProgRes cameras will connect fast and easy and do not require an external power supply.

Excellent colour reproduction at the highest rates. ProgRes USB cameras merge the maximum readout of CMOS and CCD sensors with the bandwidth of the USB bus technology. This offers the customer rapid live preview images. Included with each ProgRes camera is the ProgRes CapturePro Software. This software ensures you get the best quality with excellent colour reproduction with only a few mouse clicks.

The digital microscope camera of the ProgRes family is based on decades of experience in development and production of high-end solutions for digital imaging. Therefore the business unit Digital Imaging of the Optical Systems division of Jenoptik offers optimized solutions for the different requirements of the user.

There are three specific groups of ProgRes cameras available - ProgRes CMOS cameras, ProgRes CCD Routine cameras and ProgRes CCD Research cameras. Intensive methods of sensor calibration used by Jenoptik guarantees the best colour reproduction. The correct colour reproduction is essential for image analysis and documentation. Micro- and macroscopy with ProgRes cameras work precisely in different environments like life sciences or materials science with excellent results. Equipped with CCD or CMOS technology using monochrome or colour sensors with optional cooling and a choice of connection either USB or FireWire, the ProgRes cameras allow professional images with ease and consistency.

Included with each ProgRes digital camera is the ProgRes CapturePro Software with improved functionality. Sophisticated functions have been added to the ProgRes CapturePro Software. These functions include Extended Focus, Print Button, predefined Text Annotations and Full Screen Mode. CapturePro supports the excellent quality of the ProgRes camera and performs optimal imaging with reproducible results.

Indigo Scientific has available many years experience in the hugely diverse field of imaging solutions for microscopy. Maintaining close links with our customers and offering excellent support in all our product areas is of great importance to us. Within the highly specialised areas of digital cameras for microscopy, confocal imaging, high resolution scanning of glass microscope slides and image analysis and processing software, there many applications fields, allowing us to show the versatility of our approach to our customers.
