ToupTek Scientific Camera Guides
Use these DCS-reviewed guides to understand selected ToupTek scientific, industrial and SWIR cameras before requesting a quotation or application review. Each guide summarises the manufacturer specifications we have checked, highlights the applications the camera may suit and flags the points that still need confirming for your own imaging system.
Start with the ToupTek Scientific Camera Advisor → if you do not already know which camera family or model fits your project.
Cooled sMAX scientific CMOS
For low-light scientific imaging, fluorescence, spectroscopy and scientific astronomy where cooling and broad spectral response may be important.
- ToupTek sMAX04BM — 4.2 MP, 6.5 µm pixels, cooled monochrome, 200–1100 nm reviewed spectral range.
- ToupTek sMAX04BM-U100 — 4.2 MP cooled monochrome configuration with a higher published full-resolution rate.
- ToupTek sMAX16AM-U3-CL — 16.8 MP, 4096 × 4096, 9 µm pixels, USB 3.0 / Camera Link.
- ToupTek sMAX16BM-U3-CL — 16.8 MP BSI scientific CMOS with reviewed 200–1100 nm response.
SWIR cameras
For short-wave infrared research, material inspection and industrial imaging. The complete optical chain — illumination, filters, windows and lenses — must support the required wavelength.
- ToupTek SWIR5000KMA — 5 MP Sony IMX992 InGaAs, global shutter, 400–1700 nm, TEC-cooled, USB 3.0.
- ToupTek SWIR3000KMA-10G — 3 MP Sony IMX993, global shutter, 400–1700 nm, TEC-cooled, 10GigE.
- ToupTek SWIR1300KMB-UMV — compact 1.3 MP Sony IMX990 SWIR camera, global shutter, non-cooled, USB3 bus-powered.
- ToupTek SWIR1302KMB-U200 — 1.3 MP, 15 µm pixels, 900–1700 nm, global shutter, TEC-cooled.
UV and NIR industrial/scientific cameras
- ToupTek IUA8000KMA Sony GS-UV — 8 MP Sony IMX487, monochrome, true global shutter and UV-optimised sensor platform.
- ToupTek IUA4100KPA NIR — 4.1 MP Sony IMX464 colour camera with enhanced near-infrared response.
Need help specifying the camera?
Scientific camera selection is not just a megapixel comparison. Tell us the wavelength, field of view, smallest feature, exposure or frame-rate target, lens or microscope connection, operating system and quantity. We can use those requirements to narrow the ToupTek range and confirm the exact configuration before you order.
