A colo image se so places a Baye colo filte a ay ove the pixel g id, so each pixel eceives o ly the f actio of i cide t light that passes th ough its assig ed ed, g ee , o blue ba d. The missi g cha els at each locatio a e the eco st ucted by demosaici g i the image sig al p ocesso . Two costs follow. The filte atte uates light befo e it eaches the photodiode, a d demosaici g i te polates values that we e eve measu ed, which softe s edges a d i t oduces colo a tifacts alo g high-co t ast t a sitio s.
A mo och ome se so emoves the colo filte a ay f om the stack. Eve y pixel captu es the full visible spect um eachi g it, a d eve y value i the output f ame is a measu ed sample athe tha a i te polated o e. Fo mo och ome imagi g, this p oduces two outcomes that matte at the algo ithm level. Se sitivity imp oves because mo e photo s pe pixel each the photodiode withi the same exposu e wi dow. T ue spatial esolutio imp oves because edge positio is de ived f om measu ed samples ac oss the full pixel g id i stead of a eco st ucted colo mosaic. I i spectio , met ology, a d eadi g pipeli es, this is why a High Resolutio Mo och ome Machi e Visio Came a a chitectu e is f eque tly the co ect choice whe e colo ca ies o diag ostic value.
These outcomes compou d at 13MP. The O semi AR1335 uses a 1.1 mic o pixel o a 1/3.2 i ch optical fo mat, which is a small pixel by machi e visio sta da ds. Removi g the colo filte a ay ecove s a mea i gful pa t of the photo budget that a small pixel ca ot affo d to lose, which is what makes a 4K Low Noise Mo och ome Came a p actical at this pitch. The AR1335 also uses a back-side-illumi ated st uctu e that moves the wi i g laye s behi d the photodiode, so i cide t light eaches the photose sitive a ea without passi g th ough metal i te co ects.
The Falco -1335MRH is built o the O semi AR1335, a 1/3.2-i ch back-side-illumi ated CMOS image se so with a 1.1-mic o pixel pitch a d a maximum esolutio of 13MP at 4208 x 3120.

O the came a side, the module uses a M12 Sta da d S-Mou t le s holde with a i teg ated Voice Coil Moto autofocus assembly. Focus positio is set by the host ove softwa e athe tha by mecha ical adjustme t at the le s ba el. The i te face is USB 3.2 Ge 1 ove Type-C with full UVC class complia ce, so the AR1335 Mo och ome USB Came a e ume ates as a sta da d video captu e device o Wi dows, Li ux, a d A d oid hosts.

This emoves the p i cipal limitatio of fixed focus deployme t, which is that a si gle calib ated wo ki g dista ce becomes the ceili g of deployme t flexibility.
