Mightex’s M-Series USB 2.0 CMOS cameras are designed for a wide variety of applications such as machine vision, digital microscopy and medical imaging, where quality, ease of use, and cost-effectiveness are crucial.
With a USB2.0 interface and powerful PC software, the unbuffered M-Series cameras deliver excellent quality images, and the frame rate can be as high as 24 fps (8 fps for colour cameras) in full resolution and up to 600 fps using ROI mode. In addition, a user-friendly GUI based application software and an SDK are provided for custom software development. The cameras have 4-pin GPIOs and optional built-in LED drivers. A DirectShow driver and a TWAIN driver are also provided in order to easily link the cameras with users’ applications.
M-Series cameras are available as 3 MP (2048x1536) colour or 1.3 MP (1280x1024) B/W versions and can be ordered as “naked” board-level device or pre-mounted in an enclosure. Monochrome cameras often exhibit a higher spatial resolution than their colour counterparts because no pixel interpolation is necessary. Without a Bayer colour filter on the sensor, monochrome cameras are also more sensitive than colour sensors, especially in infrared (IR).
Available models are:
- MCN-B013-U/MCN-B013-US: B/W, lens mount C/CS, board-level, no built-in LED drivers
- GLN-B013-U/GLN-B013-US: B/W, lens mount C/CS, board-level, built-in LED drivers
- MCE-B013-U/MCE-B013-US: B/W, lens mount C/CS, enclosed, no built-in LED drivers
- MLE-B013-U/MLE-B013-US: B/W, lens mount C/CS, board-level, built-in LED drivers
- MCN-C030-U: colour, lens mount C or CS, board-level, no built-in LED drivers
- GLN-C030-U: colour, lens mount C or CS, board-level, built-in LED drivers
- MCE-C030-U: colour, lens mount C or CS, enclosed, no built-in LED drivers
- MLE-C030-U: colour, lens mount C or CS, enclosed, built-in LED drivers
Note: Board-level cameras are designed for OEM applications, when a system-level enclosure is usually provided. In order to avoid electro-static discharge (ESD) related damages, workforce handling a board-level camera should be properly grounded. ESD related damages are considered as mishandling and are not covered by product warranty. For lab use, it is strongly recommended to choose an enclosed camera instead of a board-level one.
