Overview

Get all the important facts about the camera model you have selected. Additional information is available in the camera family manual, the support sites or directly from our sales team.

COMPACT

The ratio of the camera’s size and weight to focal plane area is the best in its class. Camera dimensions are as close to sensor size as possible.

EFFICIENT

Large Sony sensors are absolutely remarkable in their imaging qualities, offering quantum efficiency up to 90 % thanks to the backside illuminated design.

FUNCTIONAL

Based on the sensor functionality, the cameras utilize a full range of features making it possible to select 12, 14 or 16 bit readout as well as 2x2 or 3x3 Binning and ROI

ADAPTABLE

The removable sensor head can be detached from the main camera electronics minimizing the effects of heat while still minimizing read noise to the 1e- range.
