In addition, use of a large-size pixel achieves SNR1s of 0.14 lx* which is very close to the value of ASI224(0.13 lx*).\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"section btm_bd\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"section\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"section\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eExceptional low-illumination performance\u003c\/h4\u003e\nExceptional low-illumination performance of SNR1s: 0.14 lx is realized by use of a large-size optical system and by expanding the area per pixel to 4.63 µm.
