By using a progressively increasing electric field profile to efficiently transfer electrons off the large photodiode, Canon’s 35MMFHDXS_A CMOS sensors can effectively leverage 19µm pixels while minimizing noise. Further, proprietary designs are leveraged to minimize dark current over long exposure times. These features, combined with a full area scan frame rate of 98fps at a resolution of 2160 x 1280, enable excellent imaging in applications requiring highly sensitive capture in low light.

For defense, astronomy, scientific, life sciences, medical, industrial R & D, and high-end security and surveillance, the 35MMFHDSXS_A sensors are ideal for:

• Night Vision
• Surveillance
• “Big Science” telescopy
• Neuroscience
• Fluorescence imaging/microscopy
• Biomedical imaging
• Microscopy
• Machine vision
• Surveillance and security

The 35MMFHDXS_A Evaluation Kit includes:

• Evaluation camera with pre-installed sensor (mono or RGB)
• Accessory package for out-of-the-box operation (quick start guide, power supply, compact tripod, cables)
• Embedded software to setup the sensor, acquire image data, and communicate over USB 3.1 interface with any USB 3 compliant UI
• PC-based UI application available for download to communicate with the camera
• Sensor board design files source code*
• VHDL code for the FPGA*

*Source code and VHDL code only available upon request with an NDA

NOTE: A Lens is not included in this kit.

As the lens plays a critical role in any imaging system, it is imperative that a suitable lens is selected to properly evaluate sensor performance for your end application.
When selecting an appropriate lens, there are several key factors that must be considered: Lens Type, Lens Mount, Focal Length, Sensor Size, Resolving Power, and Aperture to name a few of the more important ones. Some of these factors are associated with your application, and some are directly tied to how the CMOS sensor will perform. Please read below to learn more.
