Do you know the CMOS Rolling shutter effect ? This issue exists on most of consumers small pixels Not compatible with fast scanning applications

We design and manufacture dedicated sensors and solutions for all these markets. We called them niches but last year we sold more than millions of imaging sensors

In the professional applications, We observe the same specifics

Linescan sensors and cameras are dedicated to moving scenes They can scan food falling to be sorted, fast moving objects in factories, And are the devices used for…

Much faster, more specific: Linescan example

Improving lives How can we make medical diagnosis technology affordable to emerging countries? Automate painful and dangerous tasks? Improve the efficiency of manufacturing to increase product affordability and reliability? Improve the inspection of food and medicines?

Saving lives How can we accelerate the discovery of new drugs? Facilitate the discovery of new materials to be used in artificial organs? Diagnose illnesses/injuries more quickly?

Protecting lives How can we recognise threats even without light/at night? Better see pedestrians in bad weather or at night? Improve the security of people operating with robots in future factories? Reduce the radiation doses in X-ray diagnosis?
