Our GigE cameras models with IMX455 are MARS-6100-18GTM-TF F and MARS-6100-18GTC-TF F . For our GigE cameras, you can download the camera manual, free SDK and 3D files in our Download page. This 61MP camera offers 18 frames per second.
Choosing the Right Machine Vision Lens for the Sony IMX455 Sensor
Selecting the appropriate lens for your machine vision system is critical to getting the most out of the Sony IMX455 sensor. Given the sensor's large format, high resolution, and advanced imaging capabilities, it's essential to pair it with a lens that can fully support its performance potential.
When choosing a lens, key factors to consider include sensor size compatibility, resolution support, optical quality, and your application's specific requirements—such as working distance, field of view, and lighting conditions. A mismatched or lower-quality lens can limit the IMX455’s capabilities, resulting in reduced image sharpness or inconsistencies in data capture.
At VA Imaging, we recommend our high-performance F-mount lenses from the 65MP series, which are an excellent match for the IMX455 sensor. These lenses are specifically engineered for high-resolution machine vision tasks and are capable of delivering sharp, detailed images across the entire sensor area—making them ideal for precision-driven applications.
