Sony IMX487 CMOS sensor

03.10.2021

Sony Semiconductor Solutions, a division of Sony engaged in the development of semiconductor solutions, primarily image sensors, announced the start of sales of a 487/2 "format IMX3 CMOS sensor designed for industrial equipment. The matrix supports a record number of effective pixels for solutions of a similar purpose and the t n "global shutter".

The IMX487 sensor has a high level of UV sensitivity and ensures minimal noise levels thanks to UV-optimized components. The industry's smallest 2,74µm pixels are used.

The IMX487 supports an approximate resolution of 8,13 megapixels effective pixels, and the Pregius S global shutter function uses pixel backlight technology to maintain high speed without sacrificing image quality even when shooting subjects in motion, at up to 193 fps (in 10-bit mode).

Sony expects that the new sensor will be useful in various industries, including finding defects in the verification of semiconductor solutions - this will help improve manufacturing processes.

In general, cameras with UV detection allow sorting of materials that are difficult to select in visible light. Moreover, the technology allows you to notice the smallest scratches and defects on the surface of objects. Such sensors have long been used in semiconductor testing, but now the demands of the industry have grown significantly - not just ultraviolet-enabled solutions are required, they must provide high resolution, low noise and high speed.

In addition to rejecting semiconductors, the sensor is also suitable for other industrial applications, such as sorting plastics and other materials in recycling plants using ultraviolet illumination, searching for microcracks and scratches on the surface of various parts, and even searching for sources of ultraviolet light resulting from discharges during electricity leaks on overhead power lines.

Ultraviolet light has a wavelength of 10-400 nm, while visible light has a wavelength of 400-780 nm. The new product is capable of detecting radiation in the 200-400 nm range, which is most suitable for industrial inspections.

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven 09.05.2024

Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

New method for creating powerful batteries 08.05.2024

With the development of technology and the expanding use of electronics, the issue of creating efficient and safe energy sources is becoming increasingly urgent. Researchers at the University of Queensland have unveiled a new approach to creating high-power zinc-based batteries that could change the landscape of the energy industry. One of the main problems with traditional water-based rechargeable batteries was their low voltage, which limited their use in modern devices. But thanks to a new method developed by scientists, this drawback has been successfully overcome. As part of their research, scientists turned to a special organic compound - catechol. It turned out to be an important component that can improve battery stability and increase its efficiency. This approach has led to a significant increase in the voltage of zinc-ion batteries, making them more competitive. According to scientists, such batteries have several advantages. They have b ... >>

Alcohol content of warm beer 07.05.2024

Beer, as one of the most common alcoholic drinks, has its own unique taste, which can change depending on the temperature of consumption. A new study by an international team of scientists has found that beer temperature has a significant impact on the perception of alcoholic taste. The study, led by materials scientist Lei Jiang, found that at different temperatures, ethanol and water molecules form different types of clusters, which affects the perception of alcoholic taste. At low temperatures, more pyramid-like clusters form, which reduces the pungency of the "ethanol" taste and makes the drink taste less alcoholic. On the contrary, as the temperature increases, the clusters become more chain-like, resulting in a more pronounced alcoholic taste. This explains why the taste of some alcoholic drinks, such as baijiu, can change depending on temperature. The data obtained opens up new prospects for beverage manufacturers, ... >>

New copper mine in Germany 04.07.2007

It is hard to believe, but in the center of Europe, which has long been studied geologically, on the border between Brandenburg and Saxony, a new deposit of copper ore has been discovered.

On a plot measuring 14 by 3 kilometers, at a depth of one and a half kilometers, there are approximately one and a half million tons of copper ore. True, analyzes showed a copper content of only two percent.

This means that only 30 thousand tons of pure copper can be smelted, while the German industry annually consumes more than a million tons of copper. Apparently, the deposit will be mothballed until the time when the price of copper rises significantly.
