Ximea MC023MG-SY Monochrome Camera 2.3MP SONY IMX174 CMOS USB3 Global Shutter 156FPS, 26.4×26.4×42mm
The Ximea MC023MG-SY (MC023MGSY) is a compact industrial camera engineered for high-performance imaging applications that demand speed, precision, and clarity. Equipped with a 2.3 Megapixel SONY IMX174 monochrome CMOS sensor, it captures ultra-sharp images at a resolution of 1936 x 1216 with a global shutter for distortion-free capture of fast-moving objects. Delivering an impressive frame rate of up to 156 fps and featuring a USB 3.1 Gen1 interface with a 5 Gbit/s data throughput, this camera offers 10x the bandwidth of USB 2.0, ensuring rapid data transfer in real-time applications.
Built on SONY's Pregius™ technology, this camera provides a 72.1 dB dynamic range, 7.6 e⁻ readout noise, and a peak quantum efficiency of 79% for superior low-light and high-contrast performance. With a pixel size of 5.86 µm, C-mount lens compatibility, and a compact 26.4 x 26.4 x 42 mm enclosure, it is ideal for embedded systems and space-constrained environments. Applications include scientific imaging, VR/AR, medical microscopy, aerial mapping, machine vision, and more.
