The RGB value of every pixel is being calculated by taking the value of a pixel, in combination with all the values of neighboring pixels. This results into less sharp images than those of a monochrome camera. Due to the RGB filter on the pixels, every single pixel, considering white light, captures up to 66% less photons than a monochrome camera. Which makes a color camera less light sensitive than a monochrome one. To compensate this, the following options are available:\u003cbr\u003e-    Increase the amount of light\u003cbr\u003e-    Increase the gain\u003cbr\u003e-    Increase shutter speed \/ exposure time\u003cbr\u003e-    Select a more light sensitive sensor\u003cbr\u003e-    Select a more light sensitive lens\u003cbr\u003eCompared to security cameras and webcams, an industrial color camera has larger and more light sensitive pixels.

The resolving power is determined by the number of pairs of black and white lines that can be distinguished. This is measured per millimeter of image space. A higher number of line pairs per mm indicates a higher spatial resolution, therefor the camera or lens system can resolve finer details in the image. \u003cspan style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\" lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eThe lens also delivers an MTF \u0026gt; 0.55 at 150\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\" lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\" lang=\"EN-US\"\u003elp\/mm, ensuring good contrast and detail reproduction at its maximum resolving power. \u003c\/span\u003eFor a \u003ca title=\"Download page\" href=\"\/pages\/requestdownload\"\u003ecomplete overview of all our other lenses and their lens resolution\u003c\/a\u003e, visit our download page.   \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eLens Product Life Cycle Management\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 5MP 12MM C-mount lens is sold in large numbers and will be produced for a long time.
