Ximea
Ximea, headquartered in Münster Germany, was created by the group of industry leading Imaging and Vision veterans
originating from SOFTHARD companies.
XIMEA has defined its mission as development of cameras at the forefront of machine
vision and imaging technologies, spearheading the advancements of research which resulted in remarkable product lines like xiQ –
USB3 Vision cameras, xiRAY – X-ray cooled CCD cameras. Breakthroughs followed with first PCI Express camera, USB 3.0 to
CameraLink cable and recently smallest Hyperspectral cameras in the world.

xiSpec Linescan, Snapshot Mosaic hyperspectral models (sensor types):
| Model | Sensor Type | Spectral range [nm] | Spectral Bands | Scans/Cubes per sec | Spatial resolution |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| MQ022HG-IM-LS150-VISNIR | Linescan | 470 – 900 1) | 150+ | up to 850 lines/sec | 2048 x 5 2) |
| MQ022HG-IM-SM4X4-VIS | Snapshot Mosaic | 470 – 630 | 16 | up to 170 cubes/sec | 512 x 272 (4×4) 3) |
| MQ022HG-IM-SM4X4-REDNIR | Snapshot Mosaic | 600 – 860 | 16 | up to 170 cubes/sec | 512 x 272 (4×4) 3) |
| MQ022HG-IM-SM5X5-NIR | Snapshot Mosaic |
655 – 975 4) |
25 | up to 170 cubes/sec | 409 x 217 (5×5) 3) |
Note 1: in 3 nm steps,
Note 2: There is no spatial resolution in case of Linescan sensors. Width is 2048 and 8 or 5 are number of lines.
Note 3: There is no typical value, these are Approximate numbers of pixels. The original sensor resolution can be interpolated.
Note 4: Generation 2 of the sensor. High reproducibility of the results – distances between the peaks are almost equidistant, position of the peaks differ from sensor to sensor by only +/- 1-2 nm,let’s talk about your requirements
