1.3 Description
e2v’s next generation of line scan cameras are setting new, high standards for line rate and image quality.
Thanks to e2v’s recently developed CMOS technology, the camera provides 50 000 lines/s in a 16k pixel
format and combines high response with an extremely low noise level; this delivers high signal to noise
ratio even when short integration times are required or when illumination is limited. The 5μm pixel size is
arranged in one single active line, ensuring optimal spatial resolution in both scanning and sensor directions
with off-the-shelf lenses.
1.4 Typical Applications
 Flat Panel Color Filter Inspection
 PCB Inspection
 Solar Cell Inspection
 Glass Inspection
 Print Inspection
