The ace 2 X visSWIR cameras offer superior image quality in both visible and short-wave infrared spectrums. Compact and cost-effective, they excel in applications like penetrating complex structures or detecting hidden objects, where conventional SWIR cameras are too large or expensive.
Image acquisition in the visible and short-wave infrared spectrum up to 1.7 µm
Camera with a compact housing measuring just 29 mm x 29 mm at a low price
This uncooled camera delivers exceptional image quality thanks to innovative firmware features
Coordinated components for a complete vision system from a single source
Our ace 2 X visSWIR cameras combine the high image quality of a cooled SWIR camera with the size and price of an uncooled SWIR camera.

Pixel defects, common in InGaAs sensors, can negatively affect image processing. Pixel Correction Beyond, a dynamic defect pixel correction technology, is a key factor behind the exceptional image quality of our SWIR cameras.
This feature uses an algorithm we developed to dynamically detect and correct pixel defects in real-time within the camera’s FPGA, ensuring that image content remains distortion-free. The image comparison highlights its impact at a sensor temperature of 35°C and an exposure time of 50 ms, demonstrating how Pixel Correction Beyond significantly minimizes pixel defects.
In order to achieve the same excellent image quality with the SWIR cameras with VGA or 1.3 MP resolution (IMX991 or IMX990) as with the high-resolution SWIR cameras, these models feature Line Noise Reduction.
This feature minimizes background noise, which is visible as horizontal stripes in the image, in real time and thus ensures a more homogeneous background.
