Technical FAQ
Lens Mount: M42. Use a lens image circle that covers the sensor and check flange distance before adding C/CS, F-mount or M42 adapters.
Sensor: China-made 2048-pixel line-scan sensor · Resolution: 2048 pixels (2048 × 1). Match pixel pitch to the diffraction-limited spot the optics deliver. Sampling finer than the optics resolve multiplies data volume without adding information; sampling coarser discards resolution you have paid for.
Frame Rate: 79K @ 2048 × 1 · Interface: CameraLink Full. Confirm the host can sustain the interface bandwidth continuously, not in burst. A camera that outruns the write path stalls acquisition rather than dropping quietly to a lower rate.
Digital I/O: 1 optocoupler-isolated input, 1 optocoupler-isolated output. Confirm edge polarity, pulse-width limits and whether each line is opto-isolated before connecting TTL or GPIO signals. A software exposure command is not equivalent to a hardware trigger.
Dynamic Range: 64.1 dB (GAIN = 1) · Full Well Capacity: 96.4 ke- (GAIN = 1). Judge these figures at the exposure time you will actually use. Cooling matters where dark current accumulates over seconds; read noise dominates short exposures where it never does.

Choosing a camera
How to tell whether this sensor is the right technology for your photon budget, and what to check before committing.
SWIR imagingSilicon cameras go blind at 1100 nm. Compare InGaAs sensor families, dark current, and cooling with an interactive QE and SNR lab — and find which regime your measurement is in.
