Ximea MC089MG-SY 8.9MP Monochrome USB3 Camera with SONY IMX255 CMOS Global Shutter Sensor, 41 FPS, 26.4 x 26.4 x 42 mm
The Ximea MC089MG-SY is a high-performance industrial monochrome camera equipped with a Sony IMX255 CMOS sensor featuring Pregius™ global shutter technology. It delivers an impressive 8.9 megapixel resolution (4112 x 2176 pixels) with a large 1-inch sensor and 3.45 µm pixel size, capturing precise, distortion-free images at a frame rate of 41 FPS. This sensor excels in delivering low noise performance with a readout noise of only 2.4 electrons and offers a dynamic range of 70.9 dB, making it ideal for demanding machine vision, medical imaging, and scientific applications.
With a high-speed USB 3.1 Gen1 interface providing 5 Gbit/s data transfer, the camera supports 8, 10, and 12-bit RAW pixel data output. Additional features include on-chip 2x2 downsampling and decimation for flexible image acquisition, hardware and software triggering, and versatile GPIO options. The compact 26.4 x 26.4 x 42 mm housing and lightweight 37.5-gram design make the MC089MG-SY suitable for embedded systems and space-constrained environments, while the standard C-mount lens interface offers broad compatibility.
