Product Summary

3.21 MP TEC-cooled SWIR sensor with high-resolution SenSWIR pixels for accurate IR imaging.

The Sony IMX993-AABA is a 3.21 MP SWIR image sensor built on SenSWIR technology with a pixel pitch of 3.45 µm, delivering reliable high-resolution performance for infrared imaging. Designed for use in industrial inspection and scientific measurement, this sensor supports TEC (Thermoelectric Cooling) for temperature stability and reduced noise. It enables imaging in the 1-2.5 µm wavelength range, suitable for detecting features invisible to visible light. With a compact size for C-mount optics and global shutter functionality, it provides distortion-free imaging of high-speed targets. The IMX993-AABA is optimized for applications like non-destructive testing, process control, and machine vision requiring high IR sensitivity and detailed image analysis.
