Mercury second-generation MER2-U3 series
The MER2-U3 series area array camera of the MERCURY2 family is a new generation product independently developed by Daheng Imaging, which supports more functions and provides multiple acquisition methods. The camera adopts USB 3.0 interface for image data transmission and integrates I/O (GPIO) interface, providing cable locking device for stable and reliable operation. Some models support a 90 degree angle for the lens interface, making layout and installation easier. The MER2-U3 series cameras have excellent performance, compact design, high reliability, easy installation and use, and offer multiple camera models with different resolutions and frame rates, suitable for industrial inspection, medical, scientific research, education and other fields.

MER2-502-79U3M POL
The MER2-502-79U3M POL camera is a polarization camera with the Sony IMX250 MZR CMOS sensor, and capture image of four different light directions simultaneously. Polarization camera can inspect reflective surface such as glass, metal which are difficult for monochrome or color camera. Thanks to the extremely compact (29mm × 29mm), robust metal housings and locking screw connectors, the MERCURY2 cameras can secure the reliability of cameras deployed in harsh environments. The MER2-502-79U3M POL camera is powered over the USB interface and has opto-isolated I/Os. The GPIOs give MER2-U3 maximum flexibility to adapt to specific needs.
