BUC3M42 series cameras use Sony Exmor, Exmor R, Exmor RS back-illuminated CMOS sensors or GSENSE large-size sensors. The cameras comes with M42 mount, we also supply M42 mount to C-mount and M42 mount to F-mount adapters. Exmor series CMOS sensors use double-layer noise reduction technology, with ultra-high sensitivity and ultra-low noise, GSENSE series sensors have big pixel size. The sensors have adopted advanced back-illuminated processing technology, the peak quantum efficiency is as high as 94%; through correlated multi-sampling technology (CMS), the chip readout noise is less than 1.2e-, and the dynamic range is as high as 90dB, which is ideal choice for biological imaging and scientific applications. At the same time, GSENSE2020BSI supports global reset rolling shutter exposure with high frame rate, which provides a new solution for high-performance UV industrial inspection, corona inspection and other applications.
The BUC3M42 series cameras have integrated a 12-bit ultra-fine hardware image signal processor video streaming engine (Ultra-FineTM HISPVP), through which can realize hardware demosaic adjustment, automatic exposure, gain adjustment, one-click white balance, image color adjustment, saturation adjustment, gamma correction, brightness adjustment, contrast adjustment, Bayer format image conversion to RAW data and finally output in 8/12bit. HISPVP transfers the traditional work that should be processed by the computer CPU to the camera hardware processing, it has greatly improved the transfer speed of the camera and reduces the CPU usage.
Using USB3.0 data transmission technology to achieve high-speed data transmission, video transmission is fast and stable.
The resolution of BUC3M42 series cameras spans from 4.2MP to 10MP.
BUC3M42 series cameras provide professional video and image processing application software ImageView; provide Windows/Linux/OSX multi-platform SDK; support native C/C++, C#/VB.Net, Directshow, Twain API.
The BUC3M42 series cameras can be used to capture general bright, dark field, low light or fluorescence microscopy images.
