JAI’s Fusion Series of multispectral prism cameras provide simultaneous images of multiple wavebands through a single optical path. The cameras split incoming light into two or three separate sensors with precise pixel-to-pixel alignment regardless of motion or viewing angle.

Fusion Series cameras are ideal for life sciences or surgical applications using NIR fluorescence; for intelligent farming techniques such as NDVI/NDRE vegetation analysis or autonomous weed removal systems; for fruit, vegetable, and other types of food sorting or inspection; for electronics/PCB inspection; and much more.

You can choose from several standard models with predefined configurations of visible and near-infrared (NIR) wavebands, or you can use JAI’s innovative Flex-Eye technology to design your own configuration with two or three custom wavebands perfectly tailored to your application requirements.

The Apex Series cameras are 3-sensor R-G-B prism cameras that separate the incoming light into red, green and blue wavelengths, which are directed to three separate image sensors.The cameras deliver exceptionally accurate R-G-B raw image data ideal for demanding color machine vision applications across a range of industries including pharmaceutical, electronics, printing/packaging and imaging in microscopy and medical diagnostics equipment.The 3-sensor imaging technique provides more accurate per-pixel color values than those obtainable with the Bayer Mosaic technique relying on interpolation routines alone to define pixel color values.

The cameras also offer more precise spatial resolution, enabling accurate edge detection and the ability to resolve smaller details.The latest CMOS cameras in the Apex Series represent a large step forward in resolution, speed and color pre-processing functions all at a very reasonable price point. This will enable many more vision designers to step up to the increased value that comes from incorporating a prism-based color camera from JAI.
