MAX (GSENSE | High Frame Rate)
Product Introduction
Features Gpixel GSENSE series (GSENSE2020e/2020BSI/400BSI) large-pixel sCMOS sensors, 4.2 MP resolution with 6.5–11 µm pixels, balancing high full-well capacity and high quantum efficiency (BSI/UV-optimized process, model-dependent). Full-resolution 44–45 fps and HDR 16-bit output deliver wider dynamic range and superior tonal detail. The cameras integrate deep TEC cooling with anti-condensation structure, industrial-grade I/O, and ROI acceleration, suitable for fluorescence microscopy, spectral and UV imaging, low-light rapid experiments, and industrial inspection applications.
