INFINITY3-6UR Microscope Camera
From: Lumenera Corporation
Need a camera with sensitivity, speed, and resolution? The Lumenera INFINITY3-6UR is the ideal general purpose camera for most microscopy applications due to its 6MP resolution, excellent color reproduction, and speed and light sensitivity needed for low-light applications. Built on Sony’s EXview HAD II sensor technology, this camera offers extremely high-dynamic range, 4.54 × 4.54 µm pixels, and very low noise.

Shining a Light on Optogenetics
From: Siskiyou Corp.
The IS-OGP is a modular subassembly from Siskiyou that collimates light from an input single-mode fiber and directs it anywhere in the field of view of an upright microscope via a 45° beamsplitter. The light can be focused to an adjustable diameter spot whose position can be precisely located or scanned via mechanical (differential screw) or automated actuators.

Cleared Tissue Objective
From: Applied Scientific Instrumentation Inc.
ASI partnered with Special Optics to develop an objective lens specifically designed for light sheet microscopy of cleared tissue samples. The multi-immersion objective is designed for media RI ranging from 1.33 to 1.56 (includes all major clearing protocols), has NA ~0.4, 1.2 mm field of view, ~17× magnification, and 12 mm working distance. Submicron resolution in X, Y, and Z is possible when used in multiview systems like the diSPIM.
