NM01BUC1D1200C
The BUC1D Series C-mount USB2.0 CMOS Camera, featuring a 12 Megapixel Sony IMX577 color sensor, is a versatile digital imaging solution designed for a wide array of applications requiring high-resolution still images and moderate-speed video capture. This camera leverages the industry-standard C-mount lens interface, providing users with the flexibility to attach a diverse selection of lenses to achieve various magnifications, fields of view, and working distances. The USB 2.0 interface ensures straightforward connectivity to a computer for both power and data transfer.
At the heart of this camera is a 12-megapixel (MP) CMOS sensor, specifically the Sony IMX577. This sensor has a size of 1/2.3" (5.95 mm x 4.71 mm) and features individual pixels with a size of 1.55 μm x 1.55 μm. This combination of resolution and pixel size offers a good balance between capturing fine details and maintaining reasonable light sensitivity. The sensor's performance characteristics include a G Responsivity of 250 LSB, a Dynamic Range of 70 dB, and a maximum Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNRmax) of 43 dB, indicating its ability to capture images with good tonal range and clarity.
The camera is capable of capturing video at a rate of 20 frames per second (FPS) across multiple resolutions, including its maximum resolution of 3840 x 3040 pixels, as well as 1920 x 1520 pixels and 960 x 760 pixels. This consistent frame rate across different resolutions provides flexibility for various imaging needs. The camera operates without pixel binning (at 1 x 1 binning), ensuring the full resolution of the sensor is utilized. The exposure time can be precisely controlled, ranging from a fast 0.1 milliseconds up to 2000 milliseconds, allowing for optimal image capture under diverse lighting conditions.
This BUC1D series camera with the 12MP IMX577 sensor is well-suited for applications such as:
Digital Microscopy: Capturing high-resolution images and videos of microscopic specimens.
Industrial Inspection: Integrating into vision systems for detailed quality control and defect analysis.
Laboratory and Scientific Imaging: Documenting experiments and capturing data in research settings.
Educational Purposes: Providing a versatile imaging tool for teaching and learning in science and technology.
Hobbyist and Advanced Amateur Photography/Videography: For users requiring a C-mount camera with good resolution and control.
To obtain the precise physical dimensions (Length x Width x Height in inches) and weight (in lbs) for this specific BUC1D model with the 12MP Sony IMX577 sensor, it is recommended to consult the official product datasheet or manual provided by the manufacturer (likely BestScope). While the general BUC1D series is known for its compact design, the exact measurements will be specified in the product's technical documentation.
In summary, the BUC1D Series C-mount USB2.0 CMOS Camera with the 12MP Sony IMX577 sensor offers a compelling combination of high resolution, moderate frame rates, and flexible lens compatibility, making it a valuable tool for a variety of imaging applications where detailed digital capture is essential.
