With 250 fps full-resolution imaging, superior NIR sensitivity (35% QE at 850 nm), and a rugged, high-dynamic-range design, it’s ideal for motion analysis, industrial metrology, sports analytics, retinal imaging, and intelligent traffic systems.

Teledyne e2v, a Teledyne Technologies announced the launch of Lince5M NIR, an advanced high-speed CMOS image sensor. Designed for superior performance in both visible and near-infrared (NIR) wavelengths, this cutting-edge sensor is ideal for commercial, industrial, and medical imaging applications. This sensor excels in applications requiring precise imaging at high speeds and in low-light conditions. Key use cases include motion analysis, industrial metrology, sports analytics, retinal imaging, and intelligent traffic systems.
The key features are:
- 5.2 MP Monochrome Sensor (2,560 x 2,048) for high-resolution imaging
- 35% Quantum Efficiency at 850 nm for excellent NIR sensitivity
- High-Speed Performance: 250 fps at full resolution (12-bit ADC)
- 24 LVDS Output Channels for fast data transfer
Equipped with the company’s 5 µm global shutter pixel technology, it provides a 55 dB dynamic range in standard mode and exceeds 100 dB in High Dynamic Range mode, ensuring optimal performance in high-contrast environments.
For seamless integration, it comes in a compact 28 x 28 mm 181 PGA ceramic package with a 1-inch optical format, compatible with a wide range of C-mount lenses. Its robust design supports an operating temperature range of -40°C to 125°C, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments.
François Trolez, Marketing Manager at Teledyne e2v, stated, “We are excited to introduce Lince5M NIR, a breakthrough in high-speed imaging beyond the visible spectrum. This sensor’s superior NIR sensitivity and rugged design make it a game-changer for various industries. Additionally, camera manufacturers using our Lince5M can seamlessly transition to Lince5M NIR, thanks to its identical mechanical and electrical interfaces.”
