Framos distributes Thomson sensor and offers Princeton Instruments' camera
The Thomson 9211A, a complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) sensor with full, high definition (HD) resolution, is now being distributed in Europe by Framos Electronic Vertriebs GmbH of Munich, Germany. The German company is also offering Princeton Instruments' MegaPlus EP16000 with the GigE Vision Interface.
Thomson's 9211A CMOS sensor is characterised by a dynamic range of more than 120 dB, when running in the non-linear high dynamic range mode, as well as other features, including high imaging performance and low power consumption, says Framos. Its 5 x 5 µm per pixel, 1.7-cm (2/3-inch) format monochrome sensor area captures high-quality images in full HD 1080p (1920 x 1080 pixels) and delivers them at a rate of up to 90 full fps.
With not more than standard packaging, the Thomson 9211A is suitable for operating temperatures of -20°C to +75°C. Other variants include one that is protected by a hermetically sealed ceramic packaging, sized 20 mm x 25 mm and suitable for use in medical applications; an automotive only version, with an extended temperature range; and a tested die without packaging.
This renders the sensor suitable for a broad range of applications and fields, including industrial image-processing and medical and scientific areas.
Princeton Instruments' MegaPlus EP16000 cameras, which are now also available with the GigE Vision interface, offer the resolution and image quality needed for sophisticated industrial and scientific applications, says Framos.
Ideal for medical imaging and digitisation, they reach a colour depth of true 12 bits per channel, with a resolution of 4872 pixels × 3248 pixels. The camera is available with either a colour or a greyscale sensor. To prevent even the finest details from being obscured by noise, the camera uses what are referred to as optimised 'shooting conditions'.
The compact enclosure houses a 16-megapixel interline progressive scan, charge-coupled device (CCD) with a sensor area of 36 mm × 24 mm. As a result, a comparatively large area of 7.4 µm × 7.4 µm is available for each pixel. In addition, passive (EP16000) or active (EC16000) cooling and an optional fan lower the sensor's temperature which means that image deterioration caused by dark current noise is reduced to a minimum.
Camera data can be transferred at full resolution at a rate of up to 3.2 fps using a FireWire, Camera Link or GigE Vision connection.
