IUE Series

Product Introduction

The IUE Series features a large-format flat panel detector with 96 µm × 96 µm pixels and approximately 1.8 MP resolution, specifically optimized for ultra-low-light applications such as protein detection and chemiluminescence. Capable of up to 120 fps at full resolution, it combines rolling shutter and hardware binning to provide flexible trade-offs between throughput, sensitivity, and resolution. The system employs USB3.0 high-speed connectivity and low dark current imaging architecture to deliver high-contrast images even under weak signal conditions.

The camera supports free-running and external trigger modes with comprehensive synchronization signals for seamless coordination with light sources, motion platforms, and host systems. It includes cross-platform SDK (Windows/Linux/macOS) and ToupView software for rapid integration and secondary development in both laboratory and production environments.

In-depth Product Overview

Ultra-large pixel high-sensitivity imaging

96×96 µm ultra-large pixels significantly enhance weak-light and chemiluminescence capture for biological and chemical detection. The 1.8 MP configuration optimizes signal collection efficiency. Dark current is 2200 e⁻/s @ 25 °C, maintaining good SNR while delivering high sensitivity—ideal for long-integration weak-signal detection.

Dual-mode imaging capability

Supports 120 fps @ 1200×1536 while offering 10 µs to 15 s exposure, covering both dynamic capture and long-exposure needs. This flexible control enables recording fast motion and accumulating chemiluminescence signals. Outputs 8-bit/12-bit data to meet scientific imaging bit-depth requirements.

Low-light signal optimization

Offers 1–50× gain adjustment to optimize SNR in low illumination. Hardware binning supports 1×1, 2×2, and 3×3 modes, balancing resolution, frame rate, and sensitivity. This multi-level enhancement ensures clear images under weak light, ideal for Western blotting, chemiluminescence, and other biomedical uses.

Lab-grade system integration

USB3.0 (USB3.1 GEN1) single-cable power with opto-isolated I/O and programmable GPIO simplifies integration. The 220×160×28.6 mm design with CE/FCC certification ensures long-term stability in labs. Full-metal build, low power, and wide temperature range fit research platforms and automated test equipment.

Comprehensive software support

Compatible with Windows, Linux, macOS, and Android. The SDK offers C/C++, C#/VB.NET, Python, Java, DirectShow, and Twain interfaces for research and automation development. Bundled imaging software supports live preview, parameter tuning, and image saving, greatly simplifying lab workflows.
