Ximea MX042MR-GP-BSI-X4G2 Scientific 4.1 MPix sCMOS Camera with Gpixel GSENSE2020 BSI Sensor, 73 FPS, PCIe Gen2 Interface
The Ximea MX042MR-GP-BSI-X4G2 is a cutting-edge, scientific-grade camera centered around the Gpixel GSENSE2020 backside‑illuminated (BSI) sCMOS sensor. This high‑performance 1.2″ sensor delivers 4.1 megapixels (2048×2048) at 6.5 µm pixel size, capturing ultra‑detailed images with exceptional sensitivity. With a fast frame rate of 73 FPS at full resolution and 11‑bit digitization, it ensures real‑time data acquisition across a broad 200–1100 nm spectral range. The rolling shutter architecture supports rapid minimum exposure settings of 6 µs, enabling precise capture of dynamic events.
Designed for enterprise‑level imaging applications, the MX042MRGPBSIX4G2 features a PCIe Gen2 ×4 interface capable of 16 Gbit/s throughput via the PCIe‑Flex‑X4G2 connector. It incorporates thermoelectric Peltier cooling down to –20 °C (air or liquid cooled) to suppress dark current and reduce noise during long exposures. Achieving a 90 dB dynamic range, 54,000 e¯ full‑well capacity, low 1.2 e¯ readout noise, and up to 91% peak QE, this camera excels in HDR imaging and low‑light precision. With GPIO support, hardware triggering, and lens options like C‑mount and EF‑mount, it's ideal for demanding fields—microscopy, fluorescence, spectroscopy, astronomy, and advanced machine vision.
