Image Sensors and Modules for Digital Microscopes
Digital microscopes demand precision imaging to reveal biological and material structures in fine detail. FRAMOS delivers customized vision solutions that integrate seamlessly into microscopy systems - offering high resolution, low noise, and accurate optical alignment for every application.
System-ready camera modules for digital microscopes
Digital microscopes demand precision imaging to reveal biological and material structures in fine detail. FRAMOS delivers system-ready FSM:GO camera modules that integrate directly into microscope and instrument designs – combining validated optics, ISP tuning, geometric calibration, and platform support into a single deployable package.
For compact microscope and instrument designs, FSM:GO IMX676 provides 12.6 MP square-format imaging with 2.0 µm pixels and STARVIS 2 back-illuminated sensitivity, matching both the spatial resolution and temporal demands of live biological imaging.
Every requirement of a precision microscope imaging system
Digital microscopy demands more than resolution. Temporal coverage, fine pixel geometry, low-noise sensitivity, validated optics, and reliable platform support - all in a system-ready module.
12.6 MP Square-Format Imaging
FSM:GO IMX676 provides high-resolution square-format imaging ideally suited to microscope and instrument viewing areas. Fine 2.0 µm pixels resolve subcellular structures without requiring optical magnification compromises.
High Frame Rate for Temporal Events
Cell division, microfluidic flow, and particle tracking require temporal resolution that standard microscope cameras don't deliver. FSM:GO IMX676 provides high frame rate capability to capture the phases of biological events that happen between standard frames.
STARVIS 2 Low-Noise Sensitivity
Back-illuminated STARVIS 2 pixel architecture collects more signal per photon, enabling short exposures at high frame rates without resorting to gain levels that obscure fine biological detail. Low-light biological specimens captured cleanly.
Lens-Free Module Option
FSM:GO IMX676 can be ordered without lens or lens mount, for direct sensor integration into your microscope's optical path. No redundant optics, just the sensor module sized for your tube design.
4K Live-View Option
FSM:GO IMX678 / IMX838 support 4K live microscope imaging for inspection, documentation, and whole-field analysis workflows. IMX838 shares the IMX678 optical footprint and driver compatibility for deployments where component provenance matters.
Embedded Platform Support
FSM:GO modules ship with validated drivers and platform support for NVIDIA Jetson, NXP i.MX, Qualcomm, and Raspberry Pi - reducing bring-up time for compact, embedded microscope and instrument designs.
Where FSM:GO modules are deployed
Live Cell Imaging and Time-Lapse
Cell division, migration, protein localisation, and organelle dynamics require both spatial resolution and temporal coverage. FSM:GO IMX676 combines fine pixel geometry with high frame rate and STARVIS 2 sensitivity - capturing the full timeline of biological events in low-light conditions without compromising image quality.
Compact Digital Microscopes and Instruments
Benchtop digital microscopes, USB-connected inspection scopes, and compact analytical instruments need cameras that integrate cleanly into constrained optical and mechanical envelopes. FSM:GO IMX676's square format and PixelMate interface reduce integration complexity, while validated optics and ISP tuning provide usable image quality from day one.
Pathology and Analysis Systems
Slide scanning, histology review, and whole-field analysis systems require consistent colour reproduction, high spatial resolution, and reliable image pipeline integration. FSM:GO IMX678 / IMX838 provide 4K live-view imaging with ISP tuning optimised for biological specimen colour accuracy across production units.
Our engineering team can help you match the right module to your biological timescale, select optics for your tube and magnification, and integrate with your embedded platform - from prototype through OEM production.

From camera module to deployed microscope system
Select the right module
FSM:GO IMX676 (12.6 MP, high frame rate) for live-cell imaging and compact instruments. FSM:GO IMX678 / IMX838 (4K) for documentation, slide scanning, and whole-field analysis. FRAMOS helps match resolution, frame rate, and format to your biological timescale and field-of-view requirements.
Match sensor to microscope architecture
FSM:GO IMX676 can be ordered without lens or lens mount, for direct integration into your microscope's optical path, tube length, and objective set. No redundant optics or back focal distance conflicts, just the sensor module sized to your design. FRAMOS engineering supports mechanical and electrical integration into custom instrument housings.
Tune for the biological timescale
ISP tuning and image pipeline optimisation match exposure, gain, and frame rate settings to the temporal demands of the biological event being imaged. Platform-specific driver configuration ensures stable imaging at the required frame rate across embedded targets.
Integrate with platform and analysis pipeline
PixelMate and MIPI interfaces supported on Jetson, NXP i.MX, Qualcomm, and Raspberry Pi. FRAMOS embedded vision development support reduces integration risk for OEM microscope products requiring custom camera and image pipeline architectures.
