Xenics Short-Wave Infrared (SWIR) Wildcat+ 640 Series

The Wildcat+ 640 series is based upon a state-of-the-art InGaAs detector with 640×512 pixels and 20 μm pixel pitch. The camera offers superior, high resolution SWIR imaging capabilities, comes in a versatile and industry-proven Wildcat camera package (GenICam compliant) and offers advanced on-board image processing.

The Wildcat+ 640 camera outputs full frame images up to 300 Hz via either a CameraLink or USB3 Vision interface.

The Wildcat+ 640 is suitable for semiconductor inspection, display inspection (mobile phone and TV), and laser beam analysis.
