Allied Vision offers the new Prosilica GT series of cameras designed with Sony Pregius™ CMOS sensors for high-quality imaging systems. With resolutions up to 31.4 megapixel at varied aspect ratios, these cameras are ideal for high-definition imaging applications with demanding requirements on robustness and design-in flexibility.
The pco.edge 5.5 sCMOS camera operates with streaming via a 10G FOL (Camera Link HS). It allows for direct processing of large data transfers on a computer. This high-performance data interface makes it easy to securely bridge distances of more than 10 km.
The pco.edge 4.2 sCMOS camera operates with streaming via a 10G FOL (Camera Link HS). It allows for direct processing of large data transfers on a computer. This high-performance data interface makes it easy to securely bridge distances of more than 10 km.
The pco.edge 4.2 bi UV is a compact, cooled, back illuminated sCMOS camera designed to work inside the ultraviolet (UV) wavelengths. A specialized input window inside the camera achieves high QE within the UV range. Based on the compact pco.edge series with back illuminated sensor technology, this camera is perfect for demanding lighting conditions, even without active cooling.
The pco.panda 4.2 bi UV is a compact, back illuminated sCMOS camera designed to work inside the ultraviolet (UV) wavelengths. A specialized input window inside the camera achieves high QE within the UV range. Based on the compact pco.panda series with back illuminated sensor technology, this camera is perfect for demanding lighting conditions, even without active cooling.
PCO offers the pco.edge 26 sCMOS camera with 5120 x 5120 pixel resolution and a 2.5 x 2.5 µm² pixel size for achieving the maximum level of spatial resolution for many applications, including microscopy imaging with low magnification.
Canon’s new 3U3MRXSAAC is a 2.8 MP CMOS sensor equipped with an HDR drive function that achieves a wide 120 dB range at low noise levels. The sensor’s wide range results in a greater ability to extract usable information, even in situations where there is a substantial difference between the lightest and darkest areas of an image.
Canon’s 35MMFHDXSB sensors are designed with deeper wells, resulting in an almost 45% increase in quantum efficiency (QE) at 800 nm verses the standard 19 µm pixel size sensor. Featuring 19µm pixel sizes available in monochrome (35MMFHDXSBM) or with a specialized RGB-NIR color filter array (35MMFHDXSBI), these CMOS sensors allow for expanded possibilities in a wide range of applications.
