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.
