About the High-Sensitivity USB2.0 Monochrome 1.4MP 2/3" CCD Cameras with Frame Buffers

High-sensitivity, low-noise camera with a 2/3" Sony ICX285AL CCD sensor.

Mightex USB 2.0 CCD cameras with frame buffers are optimized for machine-vision applications, and they can also be used for a wide variety of other applications such as digital microscopy and medical imaging. These cameras have built-in frame buffers, external trigger-in, strobe-out, and a powerful camera engine that supports multiple cameras. Monochrome cameras often exhibit 20% higher spatial resolution than their color counterparts because no pixel interpolation is necessary. Without a Bayer color filter on the sensor, monochrome cameras are also more sensitive than color sensors especially in near IR and UV regions. Frame rate can be as high as 15 fps in full resolution and up to 80 fps using ROI mode. In addition, a user-friendly GUI based application software and an SDK are provided for custom software development. A USB command set protocol is also provided for non-Windows based applications.

High Sensitivity, Low Noise USB2.0 powered – no need for external power supply.

Ordering and integration

What you need with it

In the box (Mightex packing list)

  • 1x Camera (w/o an imaging lens)
  • 1x IR-cut filter (pre-installed, retail version only)
  • 1x USB Cable
  • Notes: (1) For a C-mount enclosed camera order, a CS-mount enclosed camera would be shipped along with a CS-to-C mount adapter (P/N: ACC-CAM-CSC).

Notes from Mightex

  • Board-level cameras are designed for OEM applications, when a system-level enclosure is usually provided. One should be properly grounded when handling a board-level camera, in order to avoid Electro-Static Discharge (ESD) related damages. For lab use, it is strongly recommended that one choose an enclosed camera, instead of a board-level one.
  • Trigger cable is NOT included and needs to be ordered separately

Combining this with other equipment? Ask for an integration check.
