Life science and Medical Cameras Applications

While industrial camera models are typically used for the manufacturing of medical products or their components, the XIMEA's portfolio also includes models designed explicitly for the purposes of scientific research in Life and Material science applications.
These special cameras are highly sensitive, offer long exposure times with low noise, increased Dynamic range and thus bit digitization.
This allows the acquisition and processing of important data which can be further used in investigation and analysis of diseases or syndrome diagnostics.
The cameras are used in ophthalmology to give high resolution and optimum color reproduction in order diagnose and cure eye problems.
Besides the overall reliability, the application areas like Medical imaging or Microscopy require ever faster speed, higher resolution as well as subzero cooling for heat reduction where low light conditions are present and acquisition takes longer.

Disclaimer

XIMEA is a component manufacturer - cameras being the main component and focus.

We welcome your inquiries in regards to applications and will try to provide advice or recommendation to the best of our knowledge and experience.

However, XIMEA is not a Solution provider nor a System integrator, which means that we can offer suggestions only concerning the camera part of the overall setup.

Microscopy

Scientific camera models used in Microscopy have to offer important parameters like the overall high image quality for correct contrast and color reproduction as well as long exposure times in case of low light conditions. All this in real time and with ever higher resolution and speed.

Fluorescence

The difference between a fluorescence microscope from the standard optical light microscope is that it either adds fluorescence to reflection, scattering, absorption, attenuation or replaces it altogether. It is used for studying organic or inorganic substances and their properties.

Ophthalmology

Digital fundus cameras and OCT (optical coherence tomography) cameras are important for diagnosing eye diseases. They examine the backside of the eye or retina and thus have to deliver color images that are correctly showing the level of oxygen supply. Especially, during cataract surgery.

Astronomy

Space exploration is a demanding task on the edge of technology development. To provide suitable cameras for the job XIMEA has designed the newest models equipped with the most sensitive large format sensors enhanced through water or air cooling and the highest speeds possible.
