Lens selection for the IMX437
A calculated lens table is not available for this sensor. Confirm the sensor's active readout area with the manufacturer, then contact our engineers for a lens match.
How to choose a lens for the IMX437
Start from the field of view and working distance your application needs. Confirm that the lens image circle covers the active sensor diagonal and that the mount provides the required focus travel and rear clearance. A lens megapixel rating alone does not establish resolution on this sensor. Compare measured MTF at the spatial frequencies your task needs, at the intended aperture, wavelength, distance, and field position, accounting for the 4.5 µm pixel pitch. Estimate framing with the Commonlands field of view calculator.
