Product Description

Diagonal 6.46 mm (Type 1/2.8) Square Pixel Array Color CMOS Image Sensor

Back-Illuminated CMOS image Sensors with Improved Visible Light and Near Infrared Sensitivity that Support 1080p

Sony has developed the approx. 2.13M effective pixel back-illuminated CMOS image sensors IMX290LQR and IMX291LQR with improved sensitivity in the visible-light and near infrared light regions for industrial applications.
A new 2.9 µm-square unit pixel has been developed that combines a back-illuminated structure with technology for improving near infrared sensitivity to further enhance picture quality at low illumination while at the same time realizing Full HD cameras for industrial applications. This realizes two or more times the sensitivity in the visible-light region and three or more times the sensitivity in the near infrared light region than that of the existing Sony product (IMX236LQJ).

    Hi Sam,
    I just received this camera from OPT and filter wheel from you. I have an adapter that is 12v 2A will this be sufficient?
    Also I am using the 11 EdgeHD and Televue 2″ 2X Powermate with your MEFW and a Mac for planetary. Any tips on spacing and software?

    Sam: @ ZWO UserGroup you wrote about 1600MM-C:
    “v3 can transfer the heat from the heat sink to the front window better but it still cannot solve dew problem if there is no heat in the heat sink so cool the camera deeper is more effective to heat the protect window..”

    My question is: is it the same at 290MM-C camera ?

    • Sam Wen

      :

      there is no such need for 290 as the chip of 290 is very small and won’t cool the protect window

    Can the fan for the TEC be disabled while keeping the TEC on? I am afraid the fan will cause vibrations to the camera.
