High sensitivity in the visible & NIR range

The graph shows the quantum efficiency (QE) of three sensors.

• IMX900: Global shutter sensor, 3.2 MP resolution, pixel size of 2.25 μm², latest Sony Pregius S technology

• IMX252: Global shutter sensor, 3.1 MP resolution, pixel size of 3.45 μm², Sony Pregius 2 technology

• CMV2000NIR: NIR-optimized global shutter sensor, 2.2 MP resolution, pixel size of 5.5 μm², discontinued sensor

The QE curves prove the high sensitivity of the IMX900 sensor in the visible and NIR range compared to the established reference sensors.

High flexibility in lens selection

Thanks to its 2.25 μm small pixels, the IMX900 is a compact 1/3.1" sensor that captures more light than the IMX252, for example, due to its improved pixel architecture. This allows for shorter exposure times while maintaining the same image quality, or the use of a wider aperture to achieve more depth of field. As a result, there is greater flexibility in the choice of lenses.

Unlike the IMX252, both the Basler C125 lenses and the Basler C23 lenses are available for cameras with the IMX900. The best image quality is provided by the Basler C23 lenses, due to low vignetting and distortion.
