Low ambient light? No problem for a sensitive image sensor. IDS Imaging Development Systems offers precisely this type of sensor with the IMX662 from Sony's Pregius 2 series - now also in combination with the tiny uEye+ XLS board-level cameras. Incidentally, IDS is the only manufacturer to offer the IMX662 in both colour and mono.
The new USB3 industrial cameras are very competitively priced. They are also only 29 x 29 x 7 mm in size. This makes them a popular choice for embedded projects. The 2 MP rolling shutter sensor (1968 x 1100 px, pixel size 2.90 µm) delivers outstanding image quality thanks to sophisticated pixel technology and is characterised by an impressively high dynamic range. This benefits mechanical and plant engineering as well as ITS, medical and laboratory technology.
In case users would rather choose a camera with a closed housing than a board-level version, they can opt for one of the compact uEye+ XCP models. For more information, please visit the IDS website.
