Resolving power of the 5MP 1/1.8” lens series

To create sharp images, we advise to combine the 5MP 1/1.8” lens series with industrial cameras that have up to 5MP resolution. The recommended cameras pixel size for this 5MP 25MM C-mount lens is 3.45μm. It has a resolving power of 160 line pairs per mm (lp/mm). 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.
