muC110 cameras are based on OmniVision’s OCHTA10, which is a state-of-the-art wafer-level camera module designed specifically for medical imaging applications, such as endoscopy. This innovation leverages OmniVision’s OVMed® platform and advanced CameraCubeChip™ technology, providing a compact and efficient solution that meets the stringent demands of modern medical procedures.
Key Features and Specifications
1. Resolution and Size: muC110 offers a 400 x 400 pixel resolution (160 Kpixels) with a minuscule package size of 0.65 mm x 0.65 mm. Its small size enables integration into devices with optical diameters as small as 1-2 mm, ideal for deep anatomical access during procedures .
2. Image Quality: Featuring backside illumination (BSI) technology, the module delivers excellent low-light sensitivity, higher color fidelity, and a high signal-to-noise ratio of 37.5 dB. These features enhance the clarity of images, enabling surgeons to visualize tissues with precision .
3. Power Efficiency: muC110 consumes only 20 mW of power, which minimizes heat generation at the tip of endoscopes, improving patient comfort during extended procedures .
4. Applications: This module is used in medical fields like neuro, ophthalmic, ENT, cardiac, spinal, urology, gynecology, and arthroscopy. It is also employed in dental, veterinary, and robotic surgical equipment .
5. Compatibility and Durability: With support for analog signal output and integration with C8203/C8209, the module ensures compatibility with various medical devices. Additionally, its design allows for autoclavability, making it suitable for reusable medical instruments .
Advantages in Medical Imaging
muC110 excels in addressing the challenges of traditional reusable imaging equipment, such as cross-contamination risks and maintenance costs. By enabling mass production of high-resolution, single-use imaging tools, it significantly enhances safety and operational efficiency in medical practices .
