The IMX018 is a 3.22-megapixel CMOS image sensor manufactured by Sony. It delivers a 2072 × 1552 pixel array with a 2.5 µm pixel pitch, providing efficient photon collection at each photosite. The optical format spans a 6.472 mm diagonal with a 259:194 aspect ratio, characteristic of 1/3-inch sensors widely used in embedded and surveillance systems. With 2.5 µm pixels, the sensor features very fine pixel pitch targeting maximum spatial resolution in microscopy and metrology systems.
