Subminiature cameras for medical integration 

The xiMU series series includes some of the smallest USB3 cameras available: bodies starting from 15×15 mm, weighing as little as around 5 grams and drawing only about 1 watt. Sony Pregius and Starvis sensors plus onsemi CMOS options span 5 to 19.6 Mpix in global- and rolling-shutter variants, connected via USB-C, flat-flex, or micro-coax. Cameras of this kind help power high-precision medical products such as laser-assisted eye-surgery systems and compact ophthalmic diagnostic devices.

Imaging for microscopy & diagnostics 

The xiJ family of cooled scientific sCMOS cameras is built for quantitative, low-light imaging. Gpixel GSENSE sensors - including backside-illuminated models - in roughly the 4 to 15 Mpix range combine quantum efficiency above 90% with Peltier cooling down to about –20 °C, keeping dark current and noise low even during long exposures. Over USB3 or PCIe, cameras like these support demanding life-science workflows such as automated, high-throughput microbial analysis.

Multi-camera systems for complex environments 

Because each xiMU camera is so compact (starting from 15×15 mm), draws only about 1 watt, and supports hardware synchronization through programmable GPIO, many of them can run together from a single host.
That makes large, tightly packed multi-camera arrays possible - for example, laboratory instruments that image many samples in parallel rather than scanning them one at a time.

Hyperspectral & next-generation imaging

At only 26×26×31 mm and 32 grams, the xiSpec series offers among the smallest and lightest snapshot hyperspectral cameras in its class, turning each frame into a datacube of an object's chemical composition. Built on imec sensors, they come as snapshot-mosaic models (16 or 25 spectral bands) or line-scan models (up to 150 bands) covering roughly 460 to 960 nm, connect over USB3 or PCIe, and are individually spectrally calibrated.
