C-BLUE One UV is a high performance scientific CMOS camera specifically designed for demanding imaging applications in the ultraviolet and in the visible range (200 nm – 1000 nm).

The C-BLUE One UV camera offer a very low readout noise enabling imaging in ultra-low light conditions, simultaneously with a global shutter architecture, which is a quite unique feature in the sCMOS world.

Low-latency acquisition with real-time image processing capabilities

The high speed global shutter sCMOS camera uses CXP 2.0 to transfer the huge amount of data generated each second to ensure the lowest latency and highest real time capability. C-BLUE One high speed is a low noise camera that will open new horizons for low noise high speed visible imaging.

Simpler and faster synchronization. Synchronizing a rolling shutter camera to other components, such as a light source, can be difficult due to the time delay between the lines of the sensor. This may result in slower cycle times and frame rates relatively to those achievable in global shutter.

Global shutter low-noise CMOS camera

Rolling shutter uses simpler pixel architecture than global shutter. Therefore usually rolling shutter is less noisy than global shutter, this is why this architecture is used in scientific applications but with all its drawbacks. With C-BLUE One UV,  simultaneously and for the first time a global shutter architecture and low noise is made possible, which is a major improvement for fast acquisition scientific applications.

By combining a global shutter and high framerates (up to 170 FPS in full frame) to very low noise, C-BLUE One opens new perspectives for applications that simultaneously require truthful/deformation-free images, high temporal resolution, and high sensitivity.

C-BLUE One high-speed low-noise CMOS camera will open new horizons for low noise high speed visible imaging.
