Home Products Shortwave Infrared Swir Lynx SQ Series
Lynx - Machine Vision - SWIR

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

The Lynx SQ cameras are able to image line rates up to 40 kHz, for demanding machine vision applications.

The camera comes with an industry-standard CameraLink or GigE Vision interface. Depending on your requirements, three resolutions of 512, 1024, or 2048 pixels are offered.
