ACIS 12.3
↳ 12.3 MP Cooled CMOS Camera
↳ Capable of exposures of 20 minutes
For applications where every pixel matters, the ACIS 12.3 rises to the challenge. Equipped with the Sony IMX304 CMOS sensor (Mono/Color), it delivers an impressive resolution of 4112 × 3008 pixels across a 17.6 mm diagonal (14.2 × 10.4 mm), bringing 12.3 megapixels of detail to imaging tasks.
Despite its high resolution, the ACIS 12.3 maintains a respectable 15.5 FPS frame rate, supported by a global shutter that prevents distortions in moving scenes. This enables it to be deployed in environments that combine high-detail requirements with dynamic subjects.
The ACIS 12.3 carries the same robust thermal management as its smaller siblings (ACIS 2.4 and ACIS 7.1), offering 35°C cooling below ambient. With a dark current of ~0.027 e-/pixel/sec at -10°C, it is exceptionally well-suited for longer exposures without accumulating significant noise, ensuring image clarity across the full exposure range (from 0.001 s to 1 hour).
The ACIS 12.3 is the definitive choice for projects where maximum detail and high fidelity are non-negotiable. By combining a large-format CMOS sensor, low noise performance, and stable cooling in a compact package, it redefines what is possible in high-precision imaging.
As industries increasingly rely on AI and machine learning to analyze image data, the importance of clean, high-resolution input cannot be overstated. Poor-quality or noisy imagery can mislead algorithms, reduce classification accuracy, and increase the risk of false positives or negatives.
The ACIS 12.3’s high signal-to-noise ratio, combined with its global shutter and deep bit depth, ensures that data entering these systems is as clean and accurate as possible.
