Triton2 SWIR - 2.5GigE Machine Vision Cameras with Sony IMX993 and IMX992
Introducing the Triton2 – 2.5GigE SWIR cameras featuring Sony’s IMX992 and IMX993 SenSWIR sensors. These sensors deliver high-performance imaging in the short-wavelength infrared (SWIR) spectrum, boasting a resolution of 5.2 megapixels for IMX992 and 3.2 megapixels for IMX993. With a more compact pixel size of 3.45 µm (compared to 5 µm in the IMX990 and IMX991), these sensors achieve higher resolutions in a compact sensor size, enabling the use of C-mount lenses. When combined with the Triton2, these new SWIR models provide IP67 protection, active sensor alignment, robust M12 and M8 connections, Power over Ethernet, and 2.5GigE (300 MB/s) bandwidth for outstanding performance and value.

Visible and Short Wave IR Camera
LUCID’s Atlas, Triton and Triton2 SWIR cameras are IP67, GigE Vision PoE cameras featuring wide-band and high-sensitivity Sony SenSWIR 5.2 MP IMX992, 3.2 MP IMX993, 1.3 MP IMX990, and 0.3 MP IMX991 InGaAs sensors, capable of capturing images across both visible and invisible light spectrums, and boasting miniaturized pixel sizes of 3.45µm (IMX992, IMX993) and 5µm (IMX990, IMX991). The camera’s capability of capturing on the short-wavelength infrared light spectrum opens up a world of industrial applications with greater precision in fruit inspection and sorting, packaging, IR microscopy, semiconductor inspection, material sorting and more.
LUCID provides users with 2 unique SWIR camera families. The Atlas SWIR is engineered for maximum image quality for 24/7 streaming and long exposure times. Thanks to the integrated sensor TEC, internal heatsink, and larger case size, the Atlas SWIR maintains consistent sensor temperature without the need for external heatsinks or fans. The Triton SWIR prioritizes size and weight with a lower cost to deliver an ultra compact SWIR camera. The Triton SWIR is intended for users who need flexibility to integrate it into smaller spaces and who wish to build their own heat management design for the camera.

Explore our Triton2 / Triton SWIR IP67 camera models
The Triton2 and Triton SWIR provides the same Factory Tough IP67 features as the Atlas SWIR but does not include the internal cooling components. Triton models do not contain a TEC1 cooling device or a large internal heatsink. This allows the camera to be more compact and cost-effective, however, users must manage their own cooling solution for the camera. This camera is intended for those who want maximum design flexibility and control over their own thermal management design.

Advanced SWIR Pixel Technology
What can a SWIR camera do?
SWIR is sensitive to water and can be used to detect moisture in fruits and vegetables. Differences in moisture levels can show up as bruising in produce. In the example above, normal wavelengths (left) are unable to detect any bruising but SWIR can detect bruising in the apples (right).
Different objects of the similar color and shape can be hard to differentiate from each other. SWIR wavelengths are absorbed and reflected differently depending on the object’s material (right). This can be used to detect foreign objects that might overwise go undetected using visible light (left).
Checking fill levels of packages is difficult under visible light (left), especially is the packaging has printed graphics on it. Certain opaque plastic packaging becomes transparent under SWIR wavelength (right). This can be used for fill level inspection or check seal integrity for heated seal package in the food industry.​
Different compounds looking similar under visible light may absorb SWIR wavelengths differently. In this example flour, baking soda, and sugar are aligned left to right. By selecting a specific narrow band of the SWIR the spectrum it’s easy to discriminate between the various materials. This is well suited for application in the pharmaceutical industry where identifying different compounds with certainty is critical.​
SWIR can be used to inspect silicon wafers as silicon becomes translucent at wavelengths around 1100nm to 1400nm (right). While visible light can be used to help detect issues on the front-side of the wafer (left), SWIR allows foreign objects or imperfections to show up more easily on both the front-side and back-side of the wafer.
Certain materials do not change color in the visible light spectrum as they heat up (left). SWIR is much more sensitive to detecting temperature changes from 100°C to over 1600°C in objects (right).

Atlas SWIR: Thermoelectric Cooling (TEC) For Consistent Imaging Performance
Relative Dark Current
The Atlas SWIR camera is equipped with an integrated single-stage thermoelectric sensor cooling (TEC1) for superior image quality and extended operating temperature range. The TEC1 offers a Delta T up to 30°C. In addition, the Atlas SWIR IP67 camera integrates an internal heatsink to quickly dissipate sensor heat to the camera case. The TEC, combined with an internal heatsink and aluminum case design, allows consistent imaging performance between -20 to 50°C case temperature.
