From Lumenera Corporation

Algae is emerging as a promising area of research for energy-efficient
producers of biofuels, medicinal products and food. Mikeala has been
investigating multi-species algal systems, as opposed to isolating a strain
and growing it. This research can lead to a more robust strain of cells with
the ability to recover when challenged with temporary light restrictions or
plunges in temperature. These types of challenges which include cloudiness
and unusual weather patterns may occur in real life situations during the
industrial growth of algae. It is important to look into these multi-species
systems to investigate the possibility that they could present enhanced

Board Cameras
Board cameras, a.k.a. PCB cameras, are video cameras with image sensors mounted directly onto circuit boards. These devices are favored for their flexibility and comprehensiveness with a small footprint. These cameras are prominent in mobile devices and CCTV security systems.
High Speed Cameras
High speed cameras are video cameras manufactured with an emphasis on extreme frame rates. This allows for the slow-motion analysis of fleeting details and motion that would not be observable with a standard video camera. These cameras find their most meaningful use in scientific and industrial settings.
Thermal Imagers
Thermal imagers detect heat patterns in the infrared wavelength (1 micron to 100 micron) spectrum.
CCD Cameras
CCD (couple-charged device) cameras are a type of image capture device that utilize an image sensor to register visible light as a recordable electronic signal to visually archive captured stills and video. Of the three types of digital cameras (the others being CMOS and CID), CCD cameras are the most developed and commonly used.
CMOS Cameras
Complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) cameras use image sensors that operate at lower voltages than charged coupled devices (CCDs), reducing power consumption for portable applications. Each CMOS active pixel sensor cell has its own buffer amplifier, and can be addressed and read individually.
