The E2-i is a 4 megapixel back which, because it includes an integrated electronic shutter and live focus, can be a complete camera system When interfaced with an appropriate host computer and coupled to an optional C-mount or F-mount lens adapter. The E2-i includes a 15mm square, 2048 X 2048 pixel array with 7.4 micron pixels. The E2-i is available in range of mechanical configurations with different lens options. It is available in either monochrome or color.
The E2-i is ideal for configuration as a macro camera. 3D macro work, such as in jewelry, forensics and biological photography often cannot take advantage of large pixel arrays because of the depth-of-field limitations imposed by the optics. A camera with a smaller sensor such as that in the E2-i satisfies the need for a dedicated macro camera at an affordable price.
Live focus and electronic shuttering enable capturing images that are faithful to those composed and focused; no camera motion will disturb focus or composition.
Lens adapters for both C-mount and Nikon F-mount are available. Bellow extensions and associated Macro system accessories are available from several companies with whom MegaVision partners to enable purchase of complete macro systems.
