The 5.5 megapixel sCMOS sensor offers a large field of view and high resolution, without
compromising read noise or frame rate. The read noise in itself is
exceptional, even when compared to the highest performance
CCDs. Only slow-scan CCDs are capable of this level of read noise
performance. High-resolution, slow-scan CCDs are typically
characterized by seconds per frame rather than frames per second
(fps). The fact that the sCMOS device can achieve < 2 electrons
rms readout noise while reading out 5.5 megapixels at 30 fps
renders it truly extraordinary in the market. Furthermore, the
sensor is capable of achieving 100 full fps with a readout noise < 3
electrons rms. By way of comparison, the lowest noise interline
CCD, reading out only 1.3 megapixels at ~ 16 fps would do so
with ~ 10 electrons readout noise. Greater speed is available
through selection of ‘region of interest’ sub-windows, such that the
field of view can be traded off to achieve extreme temporal
resolution. The low noise readout is complemented by a high
dynamic range of 27 000: 1. Furthermore, the architecture
of sCMOS allows for high dynamic range by offering a large well
depth, despite the small pixel size. By way of comparison, a 1.3
megapixel interline with similarly small pixels achieves only ~1800:1 dynamic range at 16 fps.
Main features
- Resolution 2560 x 2160 pixels (5.5 megapixels)
- Extremely low readout noise of 1.1 e- med
- Maximum frame rate of 100fps at full resolution
- Pixel size 6.5 um x 6.5 um

Mikrotron MotionBLITZ EoSens® Cube7
Experience the best of both worlds
- A high speed high sensitivity CMOS camera
- 500 images per second at megapixel resolution
With the MotionBLITZ® EoSens®
Cube7, Mikrotron has developed a CMOS
camera with memory that combines high
image speed, high image resolution and
maximum use of available light to ensure
excellent quality for high speed video
recordings. The EoSens® technology is
characterised by an extremely high
photosensitivity (1200 ASA monochrome,
1000 ASA RGB). With this new CMOS
camera, the problem of lighting is no
longer the critical factor – the time and
effort spent on lighting are minimised.
The picture quality of the EoSens® camera is also improved through a pixel-based FPN correction. FPN or
“fixed pattern noise” could previously only be corrected column-by-column. The memory functions of
the MotionBLITZ EoSens® Cube7 have also been further developed. The internal memory records up to
13 seconds at full speed and resolution. In Burst Trigger mode, it is possible to divide the memory into
several thousand sequences in order to make optimum use of it. Burst Trigger mode thus offers a
simplified method for systematically analysing processes: Additional outstanding features of
the MotionBLITZ EoSens® Cube are already familiar from the other Mikrotron high-speed cameras:
Dynamic adapting for extreme bright/dark contrast, maximum performance with minimal dimensions and
large selection of upgrade options.
EoSens® CL
No more attention to the Light - the EoSens® is the first high speed camera with a Photo-Sensitivity
of 2500 ISO/ASA! Achieve data rates of up to 120 fps with base Camera Link Interface or even 500 fps
with full Camera Link Interface at full resolution. Even in low lighting conditions, Eosens provides high
speed images without complex lighting equipment.
Dynamic Range Adjustment of Extreme Contrasts through 2 selectable steps:
The EoSens’ dynamic range adjustment option allows the CMOS sensor’s linear range to approach into
a dynamic range corresponding to the non-linear human eye. Consequently, EoSens® provides definite
image details even in the case of extreme dark-light contrasts, leading to an invaluable benefit in image
processing.
Multiple Pixel Exposure for Indefinite Lighting Conditions:
Pixel exposure can be accumulated up to 7 times, resulting in alternative image exposures. In indefinite
lighting conditions, as in 24h outdoor applications, EoSens® becomes the high speed camera that spots
everything.

Smart High Speed Camera ProcImage 250
High speed camera records direct to PC via USB2.0. Frame
rates up to 252 fps at the full resolution of 640 x 480 pixels is
possible with real time recording on hard drive (compression without
loss)
Based on a motherboard with a Spartan 3 FPGA, a fast SRAM and a
USB2.0 interface, the ProcImage240 performs high speed videos very
simply while offering the possibility of having a smart trigger to
optimize movie capture and embedded processing in real time to
transfer only useful data. Just use a standard PC. No need for specific
acquisition card. It is also possible to record onto the RAM of the
camera and capture images at 640 x 480 pixels resolutions up 252 frames per second and up to 54,000
images per second at a reduced resolution.
Main features:

ACCESSORIES
High Speed Filter Wheel
Unmatched Performance
High-performance servo motors featuring rare Earth magnets
coupled with backlash-free power transfer provide ultimate torque
which translates to ultimate speed. Adjacent filter distance is
travelled in as fast as 23ms on the HS-625 model and 30ms on the
HS-1025 and HS-1032 models, while the longest distance (180
degree wheel turn corresponding to three filter positions on the
HS-625 and five positions on the HS-1025 and HS-1032) is
covered in 45ms on the HS-625 model and 90ms on the HS-1025
and HS-1032 models.
Control
The control system not only optimizes the trajectory to result in maximum speed with minimum vibration,
it also adapts to the changes in load. When filters are added or removed, the controller parameters must be
adjusted in order to maintain peak performance. A built-in adaptation mechanism takes care of these
adjustments providing optimum performance no matter what the operating conditions are.
Servo Motor Advantage
Encoder feedback sensors on the servo motors enable reliable operation compared to a stepper-motor-
based open-loop motion system where step skipping may occur. However, the advantages of servo motors
come at a cost of increased circuitry and controller complexity. This is addressed with state-of-the-art
semiconductor components, a high-performance DSP (Digital Signal Processor), and a sophisticated
control algorithm.
