The Sony Pregius image sensors<\/b><\/span><\/a> are becoming the workhorse in industrial cameras providing various resolutions, coupled with high dynamic range and unsurpassed sensitivity. \u00a0However, the latest pixel architecture from Sony has moved to a 3.45um pixel pitch which results in more demand on the lens resolution. \u00a0It becomes even more challenging on high megapixel and<\/u> small format image sensors such as the ON-SEMI MT9P031<\/b><\/a> or AR1820HS<\/a>\u00a0<\/b>which have 2.2um and 1.25um respectively.
\n
\n<\/span>To be successful in imaging with these sensors,\u00a0<\/span>a lens design must provide the ability to resolve the small pixels ideally to the edge of the lens or i<\/span>mage contrast will degrade. \u00a0In many cases, this is stated in terms of line pairs per mm (lp\/mm) from center to edge (i.e 120\/100). \u00a0<\/span>Read more about lens specifications\u00a0in our “Demystifying Lens performance specificaions” blog<\/b><\/a><\/span>

\n<\/span>How do we overcome this problem to ensure a high contrast image? \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/b>
\nFUJI 12 Megapixel HF-12M series<\/span><\/a> lenses!<\/span><\/b>
\n
\n<\/span>Although lens manufacturers tout a lens series in Megapixels, the key is understanding the lens performance data in terms of its resolution. \u00a0The FUJI HF12M series states “12 Megapixels”, but really is a lens designed to resolve 2.1um pixels on a 2\/3″ sensor which accommodates 12 megapixels. \u00a0The bottom line is that any image sensor with small pixels down to 2.1um regardless of resolution benefit from this lens.. This lens will help resolve the pixel! \u00a0<\/span>
\n
\n<\/span>The HF-12M series<\/span><\/b><\/a> is great for cameras using image sensors from Sony’s Pregius IMX Series (ie \u00a0IMX250<\/a>, IMX252<\/a>, IMX264<\/a>) which have 3.45 um pixels along with\u00a0<\/span>ON-Semiconductors\u00a0<\/span>MT9P031<\/b><\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0<\/span>AR1820HS<\/a>\u00a0<\/b>sensors. \u00a0<\/span>
