NIT WiDy 640V-S Uncooled SWIR Camera Family
The WiDy 640V-S is a compact, uncooled VGA InGaAs SWIR camera for applications requiring wide dynamic range, simple system integration, and reliable short-wave infrared imaging from 0.9 to 1.7 µm. The WiDy 640 uncooled family is available with USB 3.0, Camera Link, GigE, and analog video interfaces for laboratory, OEM, industrial inspection, machine vision, laser viewing, and research imaging applications.
Uncooled VGA InGaAs SWIR camera platform with USB3, Camera Link, GigE, and analog output options.
The WiDy 640V-S provides VGA SWIR imaging without thermoelectric cooling, making it a practical choice when compact size, low power, broad usability, and cost-effective integration are priorities.
The WiDy sensor platform is designed for high-contrast scenes and offers a typical 120 dB dynamic range. This helps users image targets with both bright and dark areas in the same scene.
USB 3.0, Camera Link, GigE, and analog versions are available so the same uncooled VGA SWIR camera platform can be matched to laboratory, industrial, and OEM system requirements.
The WiDy 640V-S is an uncooled VGA SWIR camera using a 640 × 512 InGaAs sensor with 15 µm pixels. It is designed for short-wave infrared imaging from 0.9 to 1.7 µm and supports snapshot acquisition, external input/output triggering, 14-bit digitization, and frame rates up to 100 Hz.
For users who need a compact SWIR camera that does not require TE cooling, the WiDy 640 uncooled family provides a flexible platform for machine vision, inspection, laser alignment, process monitoring, microscopy-related setups, and general SWIR research imaging.

Ask Pembroke Instruments for help with camera selection, software setup, triggering, lens selection, illumination, image capture, and system integration.
Uncooled SWIR cameras are often preferred when the application requires a compact camera, lower power consumption, simplified installation, or a more affordable SWIR imaging solution. They are well suited for many industrial and laboratory applications where long exposures or extremely low-light measurements are not the primary requirement.
For low-light applications, longer exposure times, or measurements where reduced dark signal and improved sensitivity are important, Pembroke Instruments can also supply TE-cooled SenS SWIR cameras. These include the SenS 640V-ST family and higher-resolution SenS 1280 and SenS 1920 models.
Inspection, materials analysis, laser viewing, moisture contrast, semiconductor inspection, and R&D imaging.
Combine SWIR imaging with spectral information for chemical, materials, agricultural, and industrial analysis.
Use SWIR cameras with microscope optics for wafer, MEMS, semiconductor, and materials research.
Learn how illumination, optics, exposure, calibration, and processing affect SWIR system performance.
Contact Pembroke Instruments to discuss wavelength range, frame rate, interface type, software, lens selection, illumination, field of view, and application-specific integration requirements.
Send us your application details and Pembroke Instruments will help identify the appropriate SWIR camera, optics, accessories, and software configuration.
