Quantum efficiency (QE) is pivotal for clear, precise imaging, especially in low light conditions that often challenge photographers. The ME2 not only excels in this regard but also offers alternatives for those seeking even higher QEs. Cameras such as the MaxCam CM1, CM2, and the IMG series – from the IMG42-40 to the Dream Machine – are available for enthusiasts demanding broader bandwidths and even higher efficiency ratings.

Torture Tested for Maximum Durability

Undergoing a rigorous 84-hour torture test, the ME2's design has been confirmed to stand firm under the most extreme conditions. From variations in time to challenges in temperature and humidity, FLI ensures that the ME2 will be a workhorse that lasts a lifetime.

Unpacking the Benefits of Micro Lenses Technology

Micro lenses represent a significant advancement in sensor technology. By positioning a half-cylinder of material over each pixel, the ME2's sensor is able to direct photons more effectively, resulting in high sensor QE and superior imaging – a clear win for professional-grade photography.

The KAF-0402ME Sensor: A Deeper Dive

At the heart of the ME2, you'll find the KAF-0402ME sensor. This full-frame CCD marvel offers enhanced active pixels, optimal pixel size for clarity, and a dynamic range that spans an impressive 76 dB. It's the silent powerhouse that drives the ME2 to new heights of imaging excellence.

What Each ME2 Camera System Brings to the Table

Every complete MaxCam ME2 camera system arrives with an array of components designed to optimize the user experience. From a robust camera body to multi-platform camera control software that runs both on Windows and Linux, FLI has left no stone unturned to ensure a seamless operation. The addition of TEC cooling ensures that the system operates efficiently regardless of ambient temperatures, making it a reliable partner for your imaging adventures.
