Home Products Shortwave Infrared Swir Manx SQ Series
Xenics Manx

The Xenics Manx is a high-performance short wave infrared (SWIR) InGaAs camera providing high speed and quality linescan imaging. The Manx is capable of reaching line rates of up to 254 kHz making it the fastest linescan InGaAs camera available on the market.

The Manx is able to provide up to 2048 pixel resolution. It also presents the lowest noise performance record for a 2048 pixel SWIR linear camera, combined with excellent dynamic range. The use of CoaXPress interfacing enables fast and reliable data transfer. The Manx is offered in three different resolutions of 512, 1024, or 2048 pixels.
