SS21MPA-U3-CXP 科学相机

Product Introduction

The SS series is built on GSPRINT high-frame-rate global shutter sCMOS sensors, balancing high resolution with high frame rates, specifically designed for industrial inspection, high-speed imaging, and scientific experiments in high-dynamic scenarios. The series covers 2–21 MP multiple specifications with 4.5 µm pixels, typical spectral response 300–1100 nm, effectively suppressing motion distortion and trailing.

The cameras provide USB3.0 and CoaXPress (CXP, model-dependent) high-speed links, built-in 1 GB image buffering, supporting 8/10/12-bit output. Through ROI/windowing and 2×2 binning (model-dependent), frame rate and throughput can be further enhanced. Supporting free-running, software/hardware triggering and multi-camera synchronization, suitable for timing coordination with external illumination, motion platforms and other experimental equipment.

Bundled with ToupView and cross-platform SDK (Windows/Linux, C/C++/C#/Python), facilitating system integration and secondary development. Some models provide TEC cooling versions for reducing dark current and improving low-light/short-exposure contrast.

Frequently Asked Questions

Learn more about scientific-grade CMOS camera expertise

Scientific CMOS (sCMOS) cameras are professional imaging devices that combine the advantages of traditional CCD and CMOS technologies, featuring extremely low noise, high frame rates, wide dynamic range, and high quantum efficiency, making them particularly suitable for scientific research and precision measurement applications.

  • Ultra-low readout noise: sCMOS readout noise approaches 1e⁻, significantly better than traditional CCD
  • High frame rates: Parallel readout architecture supports frame rates up to 100fps or higher
  • Wide dynamic range: Can simultaneously image bright and dark regions with dynamic range reaching tens of thousands to one
  • Large field of view and high resolution: Suitable for high-resolution large field of view imaging requirements

Most sCMOS sensors employ rolling shutters, achieving high speed through line-by-line readout. Some models support pseudo-global shutter modes, enabling tear-free imaging through triggered synchronized illumination.

Widely used in biological microscopy, fluorescence imaging, high-speed object detection, astronomical observation, X-ray imaging, cold atom research, and other precision scientific research scenarios.

EMCCD cameras are better suited for extremely low light or long exposure applications.

sCMOS cameras offer better cost-effectiveness for high-resolution, high frame rate applications requiring low noise.
