Allied Vision has announced the addition of new camera models to its Alvium series, featuring Sony’s IMX487 CMOS sensor designed for ultraviolet (UV) imaging. These cameras utilize a backside illuminated global shutter technology, extending their capabilities into the ultraviolet spectral range. The Alvium UV cameras are the smallest industrial-grade UV imaging devices available on the market and are ideal for compact OEM systems in embedded or machine vision applications such as battery inspection, forensic analysis, and microscopy.

High-Quality UV Imaging

The new models incorporate Sony’s 8.1 MP Pregius IMX487 CMOS sensor, optimized for wavelengths between 200 nm to 400 nm. This enables high-quality UV imaging with low noise at resolutions and frame rates suitable for demanding industrial and scientific applications in the near-UV and mid-UV range. With a pixel size of just 2.74 μm, these cameras can detect minute details while maintaining high sensitivity.

New Alvium UV Models

Model Spectral Range Resolution (H × V) Frame Rate Pixel Size Optical Format
Alvium G5-812 200 nm -400 nm 2848 × 2848 (8.1 MP) 58 fps 2.74 μm × 2.74 μm Type 2/3
Alvium U-812 58 fps
Alvium C-812 58 fps
Alvium G1-812 (coming soon) 14 fps

These industrial-grade cameras come with free software and drivers, offering a plug-and-play experience for machine vision applications beyond the visible spectrum. Their compact size and lightweight design make them ideal for OEM system integrations.
