3 Overview Over vie w The XC-EU50/EU50CE is a monochrome video camera module with a 1/2 type CCD for industrial use. With its sensitivity around the near ultraviolet range (around 360 nm), utilized the feature of the shorter wavelength range characteristics and very detailed data can be detected. Small scratches, dust or blemishes hardly visible to[...]
