INFINITY8-8C colour camera 8.3M 1/1.8

Equipped with a Sony IMX334 colour CMOS sensor in 1/1.7″ format (8.3 MP), the INFINITY8-8C camera offers a maximum resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels at a fluid frame rate of 44 frames per second. Its compact design and USB 3.0 interface ensure fast image transfer and easy installation.

It provides colour images that are faithful to visual observation through the eyepieces, optimised for different types of lighting (LED, daylight, halogen). Its design dissipates heat efficiently without fans or active cooling, reducing thermal noise.

The included INFINITY ANALYZE 7 software is compatible with Windows and macOS, and supports third-party applications such as Image-Pro® and MicroManager.
It enables intuitive image capture, annotation and analysis, with no upgrade or annual licence fees.
