XIMEA has announced the addition of new models with exceptional Sony CMOS Pregius? S sensors

The initial line up will start with camera models based on IMX540, IMX541, IMX542 and continue with other sensors from the Sony 4th Generation Pregius S family. 

To the outstanding features of the next evolution of Sony CMOS sensors belong the small pixel size in combination with BSI – backside illumination technology. The small pixel allows even the sensors with high resolution of 24.5 Mpix to stay very compact contributing to closer proximity for multi camera setups.

This shrinking in size does not lead to compromises in the imaging quality which stays remarkable and at least as good as other recent Sony sensors if not higher.

All of the sensors offer Global shutter readout making them ideal not only for scientific applications, but also for systems where objects move at a higher speed. As was already the case with previous generations, 4th continues with high quantum efficiency as well as lower noise and noteworthy Dynamic range of 71 dB.

Earlier mentioned small pixels are 2.74
