AWAIBA has a long history and proven track record in successful developments of image sensors for various medical applications. This ranges from X-Ray panels and CT to Digital Microscopy, Endoscopy, Laproscopy, 3D-model generation and imaging for medical analysis equipment. Each of these applications provide it’s own challenges to the sensor technology used and requires optimization of all components towards the specific medical applications. Derived from the accumulated experience with these applications AWAIBA has developed versatile multi purpose image sensors for medical applications which are available as standard components.
NanEye Minimal Diameter Endoscopy
AWAIBA’s proprietary sensor and packaging technology provides unprecedented miniaturization and integration possibilities. Based on this, AWAIBA has developed minimal form factor image sensors. These sensors can be embedded with micro optics to provide high resolution visualization in endoscopic applications guided by wires of minimal diameter. Awaiba is proud to provide a technology that is true to the label “minimally Invasive”. The instruments used by doctors provide the combination of safety and clear high resolution image quality without the trade off patient pain or trauma.
NanEye 2B 1mm 62k pixels
The NanEye 2B sensor provides a true system on chip camera head with fully self timed readout sequencing, AD conversion to 10 bit and bit serial data transmission over LVDS. AWAIBA’s proprietary data interface technology permits cable length’s up to 2m with out any additional components at the distal end. Due to the low energy dissipation on the interface no complicated shielding is required to meet EMC norms. With it’s 250 x 250 pixels at 3um pitch the sensors provide clear and sharp images with outstanding MTF in a very compact size. A frame rate of 44Fps permit synchronization to any type of display. The NanEye sensor provides delay free, smooth video operation resulting in a safe operation and a clear diagnosis. The sensors are connected to minimal diameter cabling solutions. As an option, a small lens an be assembled to the chip, this option does not increase the total diameter of the sensor, making it the world most compact digital camera.
Typical applications are medical endoscopy, dental imaging, surgical robots, guide wire visualization, intubation equipment visualization, disposable equipment.
