Image example
Comparison between VGA & SXGA image
Thanks to the new NIT in-house designed sensor – NSC1901T-SI, SenS 1280 SWIR camera provides a higher resolution image (1280×1024). You can see better details with higher sharpness with no distortion, especially when zooming in.
Applications
The SenS 1280 camera is the perfect choice for multiple applications. The pure linear mode (High sensitivity with low noise 30e-) offers the ability to be used as a beam diagnostic tool. Its 1280 x 1024 pixels resolution offers a better field of view for inspection of semiconductor or solar cell panels. Also, SXGA resolution will give you extended possibilities for Defense & Security applications with better details and sharpness.
