Xenics Short-Wave Infrared (SWIR) Lynx SQ Series

The Lynx square (SQ) series, based on an in-house developed linear InGaAs detector, offer affordable short-wave infrared (SWIR) line-scan imagers.

The Lynx SQ cameras are able to image line rates up to 40 kHz for demanding machine vision applications. The cameras come with an industry-standard CameraLink or GigE Vision interface.

Depending on your imaging requirements, three resolutions of 512, 1024, or 2048 pixels are offered.

Benefits & Features
• High speed line-scan imaging up to 40 kHz
• High resolution
• CameraLink or GigE Vision interfacing
