LUCID Newsletter 2019 Issue #5

LUCID expanded its Triton camera family with two new models featuring 3rd gen Sony Pregius global shutter CMOS sensors. The new 2.8 MP and 7.1 MP Triton GigE Vision cameras use Sony's IMX429 and IMX428 image sensors. Their larger 4.5 μm pixel size offers a high saturation capacity of 25,000e-, low read noise of 2.5e- and a wider dynamic range of 72 dB compared to the 2nd gen Sony Pregius sensors, enabling a superior image acquisition under low light conditions. See EMVA 1288 data for 2.8 MP and 7.1 MP.
