Teledyne Photometrics partners with Dotphoton

Photometrics, a division of Teledyne Technologies, engaged in a strategic partnership with Swiss image compression solutions provider Dotphoton that will enable robust storage of the large amounts of images generated by scientific imaging using integrated combinations of products from the two companies.

Joe Deasy, marketing manager at Teledyne Photometrics notes that this partnership is a move to resolve prohibitive data storage issues caused by the large amounts of data generated during modern scientific imaging. Deasy explains, “Our Kinetix sCMOS high-speed scientific camera is capable of generating 4.9 gigabytes of data per second. Solutions such as Dotphoton’s Jetraw are necessary for efficient post acquisition data management.”

Dotphoton is a Swiss technology company that provides innovative data management solutions for large image data. Its metrologically correct approach to image compression enables file size reduction by a factor of six to ten while preserving the quality of images and improves the experience of managing large data sets.

Jetraw’s metrologically accurate raw image compression software is compatible with most visualization and processing software. It uses a full information-theoretical model of the image acquisition process, based on the physical properties of both the light and the sensor to ensure optimal performance.

Photometrics, a part of Teledyne’s vision solutions group, manufactures industry leading scientific CMOS and CCD cameras used in life science. With more than forty years of experience, Photometrics has pushed the boundaries of scientific imaging with the Kinetix, a ten-megapixel, 95-percent quantum-efficient, 500 frame per second sCMOS cameras.
