The 12MP MU1203-BIis part of our back-illuminated CMOS camera series. Back-illuminated CMOS sensors provide higher quantum-efficiency by moving the photo-diode layer in front of the electronic components, increasing photon-absorption. This translates to less image-noise and dark-current while maintaining high speeds. The C-mount connection provides flexibility in usage, including C-mount interfaces, reduction lenses, and adapters for most microscope brands. The included software for Windows, Mac, and Linux provides an imaging solution for photography and videography. The Windows (XP/Vista/7/8/10) version provides an extensive toolset for image-processing and measurements. A lite version of the application is provided for Mac and Linux. Camera Specifications: Sensor: Sony IMX226 (color) Sensor Type: BSI CMOS Sensor Size: 1/1.7 class (7.40mm x 5.55mm) Pixel Size: 1.85m x 1.85m Sensor Pixels: 12MP (4000x3000) Sensitivity: 280mv Max Framerates: 25fps @ 4000x3000, 50fps @ 2048x1080 Binning: 1x1, 2x2 Exposure Time: 0.1ms - 15s Connectivity: USB 3.0 Compatibility: Windows (32/64 bit) XP/Vista/7/8/10, Mac OSX, Linux Reduction Lens: 0.75X C-mount to 23mm
