Allied Vision have launched four new extended Goldeye SWIR cameras that incorporate one of two SWIR inGaAs sensors. One that can detect wavelengths up to 1.9 µm and the other up to 2.2 µm, both with high quantum efficiencies. This extended range allows more unique spectral features to be detected and is crucial for distinguishing between materials.

The Goldeye XSWIR family have been carefully designed to withstand the harshest of environmental conditions with an operating temperature of -20 °C to +55 °C. With a small size, a compact form factor and multiple mounting options, the Goldeye XSWIR can be easily fitted into vision systems where space is a premium.

Features
• SingleFrame, MultiFrame, Continuous, or RecorderMode acquisition modes
• Non-uniformity correction with automatic adaptation, Defect pixel correction. Background correction image correction tools
• Control up to 32 ROIs
• High analog gain modes and digital binning
• Auto-Gain, Auto-Contrast, and Look-up tables
• User sets

The further users can see further into the infrared the more unique spectral features can be detected so to distinguish different materials. This opens up new imaging opportunities and allows the Goldeye XSWIR to excel in the following applications:
• Airborne remote sensing
• Food quality sorting
• Moisture detection
• Laser beam profiling
• Pharmaceutical process control
• Cell analysis in bioimaging
• Vision enhancement
