120MXS CMOS sensors - Ultra-High Resolution and Speed

By incorporating close to the same number of pixels as photoreceptors in the human eye, the Canon 120MXS CMOS sensor delivers ultra-high 120 MP resolution in a compact design. At the same time, pixel-level innovations allow for faster readout speeds with lower noise ratios at 9.4fps – or higher when reducing the amount of readout lines. Uncover the finest details and find new clarity in industrial vision with the 120MXS CMOS Sensor from Canon. This Canon CMOS sensor is available in monochrome (120MXSM), color (120MXSC), and with a specialized RGB-NIR color filter array (120MXSI).

35MMFHDXS_A CMOS sensors - High Sensitivity in Low Light

The Canon 35MMFHDXS_A CMOS sensors use new pixel and readout circuitry technologies delivering ultra-high sensitivity with a 2.76 megapixel resolution. The enormous 19µm pixels, which minimize noise and dark current and allow control over readout position and frame rate, make the 35MMFHDXS_A sensors unique in capabilities among all other CMOS sensors for low light imaging. These CMOS sensors are available in monochrome (35MMFHDXSMA) and color (35MMFHDXSCA).

3U5MGXSBA 5MP CMOS sensors - High Speed Image Capture in 5 Megapixel Resolution

With an electronic shutter and all pixel progressive readout of 120 fps, the Canon 3U5MGXSBA 5MP CMOS sensor offers fast, distortion free image capture. In a 2/3″ format, proprietary pixel designs with low power consumption and enhanced sensitivity further improve performance. The 3U5MGXSBA CMOS sensor is an innovative solution where high performance is required in a small format. This CMOS sensor family is available in monochrome (3U5MGXSBAM), color (3U5MGXSBAC) and a specialized RGB-NIR color filter array (3U5MGXSBAI).

LI8020SA 250MP CMOS sensors - High Speed Image Capture in 250 Megapixel Resolution

Capturing detail 125 times greater than in full HD resolution, the LI8020SA CMOS sensor from Canon offers remarkably high 250 MP resolution to uncover more detail than ever before. This innovative, APS-H format sensor leverages a square pixel arrangement of 1.5µm x 1.5µm pixels, achieving ultra-high resolution in a compact design for use in a wide range of applications. Discover new possibilities in unparalleled resolutions with the LI8020SA CMOS Sensor from Canon. This CMOS sensor family is available in monochrome (LI8020SAM) or color (LI8020SAC).

Canon Low Light Machine Vision Cameras

Introducing Low light machine vision from Canon.

Macnica is very excited to offer the new ML-100 and ML-105 Machine vision cameras from Canon. This industrial camera is based on the Canon’s own 19um pixel sensor, providing unparalleled low light performance. It only needs 0.0005 Lux of illumination to provide an image, making it very suitable for indoor, badly lit or outdoor nighttime use – That’s equivalent to 4560000 ISO.

The industrial camera design has multiple mounting points. Choose from the industrial CoaXPress output, or the user-friendly HD-SDI interface. Each is offered with a choice of EF or M58 lens mounts, enabling the use of Canon or 3rd party lenses.

The full frame 35mm, rolling shutter sensor provides 2.7 Mpixels, providing 1080p/60 HD video.

With frame rates up to 164 fps, programmable ROI and selectable 8/10/12/16 bit output, it makes for a very robust camera. At 3x3x3.3 inches, the ML-100 also provides a compact solution.
