The new Teledyne FLIR Blackfly S camera series now offers an 8 megapixel solution in either USB3 format or GigE format. The newest series features higher resolution within the same sensor size allowing cameras to use cost effective lenses. Additionally, the Pregius S backside illuminated feature allows pixels
to efficiently capture more incoming photons from wider angles, resulting in excellent even illumination across the image. The aspect ratio for both the USB and GigE cameras is an impressive 1:1 within a 2/3” sensor format with a pixel size of just 2.74. The 1:1 aspect ratio is beneficial for scientific applications such as microscopy and visible light imaging.
Ideal Applications
Microscopy, Imaging and 2D Measurements:
- great image quality with exceptional low read noise values
- higher dynamic range and light distribution over the image on the BSI feature
- perfect fit aspect ratio for scientific applications, especially microscopy and visible light imaging
- wider field of view that fit with lenses used in microscopy under a 2/3" size sensor
Non-Contact Metrology:
- higher dynamic range and light distribution over the image on the BSI feature
- achieve higher resolution under the same optics
Aerial Imaging:
- great image quality with lower absolute sensitivity threshold
- higher dynamic range and light distribution over the image on the BSI feature
- achieve higher resolution under the same optics
