  • Page 6: Description

    UNiiQA+ High-Speed: high speed cameras to help improve the performance of your system The UNiiQA+ family has also been designed to be highly modular to enable engineers to reuse the same camera in multiple equipment, simplify logistics and reduce development cycle time. All UNiiQA+ cameras feature e2v’s proprietary CMOS sensors : a single line of highly sensitive pixels of either 5µm or 10µm size.
