Description
C-BLUE One (formerly C-MORE) is an ultra-high performance scientific CMOS camera specifically designed for demanding imaging applications in the visible range (400 nm – 1000 nm).
The architecture of the camera has been designed to integrate one of three different new generation sensors: thanks to this flexible design, C-BLUE One is able to cover the largest scope of applications.
The camera can be tailored to be the best pixel size, resolution, and frame rate compromise for your use case:
- C-BLUE One 0.5MP: 812×612 pixels, 9 μm pitch, 1594 fps
- C-BLUE One 1.7MP: 1608×1104 pixels, 9 μm pitch, 662 fps
- C-BLUE One 7.1MP: 3208×2200 pixels, 4.5 μm pitch, 207 fps.
