Sony Semiconductor Solutions announced the release of the IMX487, a 2/3-type CMOS image sensor for industrial equipment, which is compatible with the UV (ultraviolet light) wavelength and comes with global shutter functionality and an effective pixel count of approximately 8.13MP. The sensor (2.74µm square pixel size) delivers a high level of UV sensitivity and high-quality imaging with minimal noise thanks to components specialized for the UV wavelength and a special light receiving unit structure.
