(Chromasens GmbH: Ann Arbor, MI) -- The improved performance of modern camera systems has increased their value as image-capturing solutions. However, a central issue is often overlooked, as Markus Schnitzlein, managing director of Chromasens GmbH, emphasizes, “In addition to a high-quality camera, every brilliant image also requires outstanding illumination.” With its bright, homogeneous and stable light characteristics, the CORONA II high performance LED module developed by Chromasens meets the increased requirements of digital-image processing.

Only the optimal interplay of light, optics, sensor technology, and electronics delivers an optimal scan result. This particularly applies to current camera models with their high line-scan frequencies.

“Ultimately, it is the line frequency that determines the necessary illumination strength,” says Schnitzlein. “The higher the image frequency, the shorter the exposure time, and the more light is required per unit of time. Signal amplification, as recommended by some camera manufacturers, only results in increased noise levels, not better images.”
