FORT WORTH, Texas, September 4, 2026 (Newswire.com), Vadzo Imaging, a leading provider of embedded vision solutions, has introduced the Falcon-1335MRH, a 13MP 1.1µm pixel size monochrome VCM (Voice Coil Motor) autofocus USB 3.2 Gen 1 camera. Tailored for point-of-care diagnostics, automated slide imaging, and pathology vision systems, this camera addresses the variability in working distances encountered in real-world medical environments.
In the medical diagnostics field, consistent imaging is crucial, but achieving it can be challenging due to the variable nature of the working distance. Traditional fixed-focus lenses can produce suboptimal images when the actual distance deviates from the assumed working distance. The Falcon-1335MRH tackles this issue by using VCM autofocus, which adjusts focus electronically for each new specimen or application scenario, ensuring clarity and reliability regardless of the specimen's position.
“Medical and diagnostic imaging devices often face unpredictable working distances. A point-of-care device might be used by different operators, and slides can vary in thickness,” explained Alwin Vincent, Product Manager at Vadzo Imaging. “Our Falcon-1335MRH is designed to handle these variations, providing consistent focus without the need for manual adjustments.”
The camera integrates the Onsemi AR1335 monochrome sensor with a VCM autofocus lens assembly, offering a M12 lens mount over USB 3.2 Gen 1 connectivity. This combination ensures that the Falcon-1335MRH can seamlessly adapt to different working distances and optical configurations, making it highly versatile for various medical and life sciences applications.
Key specifications of the Falcon-1335MRH include a 13MP (4208 × 3120) resolution, a 1/3.2-inch sensor format, 1.1 µm pixel size, and monochrome rolling shutter. The VCM autofocus system allows for flexible focus adjustment, while the M12 lens mount provides the option to select optics best suited for specific applications.
Vincent further elaborated, “The Falcon-1335MRH is not just about autofocus; it’s about balancing resolution and focus flexibility. Our camera resolves genuine diagnostic detail across its working range, and the M12 lens mount ensures that manufacturers can customize optics for different applications without compromising on resolution.”
The Falcon-1335MRH’s design also emphasizes practicality and compatibility. It enumerates as a standard UVC device, making it easy to integrate with existing diagnostic software. Additionally, its compact form factor allows it to fit seamlessly into point-of-care and portable diagnostic devices, maintaining a validated enclosure design without the need for costly redesigns.
“Manufacturers producing diagnostic equipment at scale require a consistent and reliable camera platform. The Falcon-1335MRH offers that, with the added flexibility to customize the autofocus range and speed to meet specific needs,” Vincent concluded.
The Falcon-1335MRH is poised to revolutionize the way medical diagnostics are conducted by offering a single camera platform that handles a range of applications from point-of-care imaging to automated slide capture, all while maintaining high-resolution detail and adaptability to variable working distances.
