Small housings and powerful sensors didn’t used to appear together. But thanks to ever more compact electronics, and good engineering, one can have both. IDS has expanded its portfolio by integrating the Sony Pregius IMX900<\/a> sensor into selected models of the compact USB3 uEye<\/em> XCP, XLS and GigE<\/em> uEye<\/em> LE series.<\/p>\n\n\n

Sony’s Pregius sensor evolution<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sony is an industry leader with its Pregious sensor series, on which we’ve written previously with an overview<\/a>. The Sony IMX900<\/a> is in the Pregious S 4th generation, extraordinarily sensitive thanks to Sony innovations including the back-illuminated stacked architecture.<\/p>\n\n\n

VIS plus NIR sensitivity<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We won’t bother showing VIS images in monochrome or color but of course they look great. But calling out a special capability of the Sony IMX900 – it’s also very sensitive to near infrared (NIR). Besides being part of the Pregious group, the IMX900 utilized STARVIS 2 technology, yielding NIR performance.<\/p>\n\n\n
