SONY provides a number of low cost CCD linear sensors, which are easy to use, because of integrated timing and clock generators. Beside monochrome sensors there are also high resolution colour sensors available. These consist of three or six parallel CCD sensors which are coated with the three basic colours (RGB).

EURECA MESSTECHNIK GMBH is no official distributor or representative of SONY. We purchase the sensors worldwide at the lowest price and so we are able to sell at the best price we can obtain. The linear sensors by SONY are normally available from stock also in small numbers.

For many sensors by SONY we offer also accessories or services. For example we remove the cover glass of sensors and supply suitable peltier elements for cooling purposes.

• CCD Linear Sensors
  SONY offers some linear sensors for various applications:
  
  
  • Very light sensitive sensors with rectangle pixels for applications with barcode readers or spectroscopic systems.
  • Sensors with square pixels for document scanner, fax devices or other applications, in which objects are to be scanned optically.

  For very short integration times (some microseconds), there are also some sensors with electronic shutters available.

• CCD Area sensors
  SONY offers many CCD area sensors for different applications. The sizes of these sensors vary from 1/4 inch to 2/3 inch and are optimized for different TV standards. Applications reach from the use in video cameras and in the monitoring technology up to industrial measurement systems.
  Progressive scan sensors provide a higher resolution compared to standard sensors, because of a better internal readout technique.
