Which industries does Pure-I Imaging serve with its camera modules?

Pure-I Imaging ships spectral and high-resolution camera systems into medical imaging (endoscopy, dermatology, radiology adjuncts), life-science microscopy (fluorescence, confocal), semiconductor and electronics inspection, defense and aerospace (SWIR/MWIR payloads), and OEM machine vision lines. Four thousand two hundred modules are deployed in active production across 22 countries.

Does Pure-I hold FDA clearance for its cameras?

No. Pure-I Imaging is a component supplier. FDA clearance is held by the OEM partners who integrate Pure-I modules into their finished imaging systems. Pure-I is ISO 13485 certified and ships an audit-ready documentation package with every module.

Can a single SDK control VIS, NIR, SWIR, and MWIR modules?

Yes. Pure-I SDK 4.0 exposes one API across all four spectral bands, so engineering teams can switch sensor modules without rewriting the optical or driver stack. SDK 4.0 is available as a download after demo qualification.

What is the typical lead time for a custom spectral filter wheel?

Pure-I builds custom spectral filter wheels in an average of 11 days from order, compared with an industry-standard 8–12 weeks. The 14,000 sq ft Rochester optics lab and in-house optical team enable this turnaround.

01 / Medical Imaging

Inside 38 FDA-cleared endoscopy and dermatology systems since 2014.

A U.S.-based surgical-imaging OEM integrated our 9-band snapshot hyperspectral sensor into a 4K white-light + fluorescence endoscopy platform cleared for gastrointestinal and dermatological indication. Pure-I supplies the sensor module; the OEM holds the FDA clearance.

Module: P-HSI-9 snapshot hyperspectral, 0.3 nm spectral resolution, USB3 Vision interface
Outcome: Vascular contrast discrimination improved by a documented 2.4× over the prior 3-band OEM module
Compliance: ISO 13485 design controls, audit-ready documentation package shipped per lot
Deployment: 38 active OEM systems, 6,100+ patient procedures logged in 2023

02 / Life-Science Microscopy

Lab-grade photon budgets, OEM-grade form factors.

A National Institutes of Health R01-funded multiphoton microscopy group at a tier-one research hospital replaced a benchtop scientific camera with the Pure-I P-VIS-4 cooled sCMOS module, dropping it into a standard C-mount port on a commercial two-photon scope without rewriting acquisition code.

Module: P-VIS-4 cooled sCMOS, 95% peak QE, −25 °C regulated, USB3 Vision
Outcome: Co-author credit on 3 peer-reviewed publications since 2022, including Nature Methods supplementary methods
Integration: Standard C-mount, Micro-Manager / LabVIEW compatible, no firmware fork required
Procurement: 11-day lead time on a custom emission filter wheel — vs. 8–12 weeks industry standard

03 / Semiconductor Inspection

Sub-micron defect capture at 38 kHz line rate.

A tier-one OSAT (outsourced semiconductor assembly and test) provider replaced a multi-vendor line-scan stack with the Pure-I IRIS-700 thermal line camera, consolidating visible and short-wave-infrared channels into one module under the Pure-I SDK 4.0 API.

Module: IRIS-700 line-scan, 38 kHz line rate, 0.3 nm spectral resolution via on-chip calibration
Outcome: Documented false-reject rate reduction of 31% on bump-inspection lines at a named Asian fab
Integration: Single Pure-I SDK 4.0 call sequence replaced three vendor SDKs — 4× faster bring-up, per OEM integration lead
Award: 2023 Vision Systems Design Innovators Award (IRIS-700)

04 / Defense & Aerospace

ITAR-compliant SWIR and MWIR modules fielded across three U.S. DoD programs.

A Tier-1 U.S. defense integrator selected Pure-I's SWIR-300 and MWIR-640 ruggedized modules for an unmanned airborne ISR payload and a separate missile-warning sensor program, citing our ITAR registration, in-house optics-to-FPGA stack, and Class 1000 cleanroom build capacity.

Modules: SWIR-300 (0.9–1.7 µm) and MWIR-640 (3–5 µm), both −40 °C to +70 °C qualified
Compliance: ITAR registered, ISO 13485 audit-ready documentation, MIL-STD-810 vibration profile available
Partner: Named U.S. prime integrator, three concurrent DoD program-of-record deployments
