Sensors Unlimited Micro-SWIR 320CSX InGaAs Camera, (320x256)
The Sensors Unlimited ITAR-Free Micro-SWIR 320CSX camera features a 320x256 pixel, high-sensitivity, stabilized InGaAs snapshot imager and utilizes Sensors Unlimited’s image enhancement algorithms to produce highest quality imagery in all lighting conditions. The camera provides real-time daylight to low-light imaging in the Short Wave Infrared (SWIR) wavelength spectrum for a range of applications that include industrial process monitoring, enhanced vision, and persistent surveillance. On-board Automatic Gain Control (AGC) optimizes the camera's imagery throughout day and night imaging scenarios. Camera Link® digital output provides for plug-and-play video with 12-bit images for digital image processing or transmission. A modular output allows for additional industry standard interfaces. The light weight, compact size, and low power is ideally suited for integration into industrial process monitoring applications. Optional NIR/SWIR technology is available to extend the sensitivity of Sensors Unlimited cameras below 0.9 μm, offering the advantage of both Near Infrared (NIR) and Short Wave Infrared wavelength response.
