Mightex’s S-series compact USB 2.0 cameras are optimized for machine-vision applications, and they can also be used for a wide variety of other applications such as digital microscopy and medical imaging, where quality, ease of use, and cost-effectiveness are crucial.

S-Series cameras are available as colour or B/W versions, with resolutions from Wide VGA (WVGA, 752x480) up to 3 MP (2048x1536) and 8 bit grey level, and can be ordered as “naked” board-level device or pre-mounted in an enclosure. Monochrome cameras often exhibit a 20% 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 near IR and UV regions.

Mightex’s S-Series compact USB 2.0 CMOS cameras have external trigger-in, strobe-out, and GPIOs. WVGA versions also feature a global shutter. The frame rate can be as high as 6 to 38 fps in full resolution and 98 to 210 fps using ROI mode (depending on colour or B/W and sensor resolution).

In addition, a user-friendly GUI based application software and an SDK are provided for custom software development. A USB command set protocol is also provided for non-Windows based applications.

Available models are:

SCN-C030-U: 3 MP, colour, board-level
SCE-C030-U: 3 MP, colour, enclosed
SCN-B013-U: 1.3 MP, B/W, board-level
SCE-B013-U: 1.3 MP, B/W, enclosed
SCN-CG04-U: WVGA, colour, board-level
SCE-CG04-U: WVGA, colour, enclosed
SCN-BG04-U: WVGA, B/W, board-level
SCE-BG04-U: WVGA, B/W, enclosed

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.
