System integration

Integration and compatibility

Use these checks to connect U3ISPM16000KPA (Discontinued) to the surrounding optical, mechanical and control system. Every value shown is taken from this model's own specification record.

Lens and microscope interface
Lens Mount: C-mount
Use a lens image circle that covers the sensor and check flange distance before adding C/CS, F-mount or M42 adapters.
Sensor and sampling
Sensor: MN34120 (C) · Resolution: 16M (4632×3488)
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.
Interface and data rate
Frame Rate: 16 fps @ 4632×3488; 30 fps @ 2320×1740; 27 fps @ 1536×1160 · Interface: USB3.0
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.
Hardware synchronization
GPIO: Available on request
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.
Cooling and noise floor
Dynamic Range: Available on request
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.

Technical FAQ

Integration questions for U3ISPM16000KPA (Discontinued)

What lens mount is required for the U3ISPM16000KPA (Discontinued)?

Lens Mount: C-mount. Use a lens image circle that covers the sensor and check flange distance before adding C/CS, F-mount or M42 adapters.

What sensor and pixel pitch does the U3ISPM16000KPA (Discontinued) use?

Sensor: MN34120 (C) · Resolution: 16M (4632×3488). 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.

How does the U3ISPM16000KPA (Discontinued) connect to the acquisition computer?

Frame Rate: 16 fps @ 4632×3488; 30 fps @ 2320×1740; 27 fps @ 1536×1160 · Interface: USB3.0. 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.

Does the U3ISPM16000KPA (Discontinued) support hardware triggering?
