Welcome to Scott Country International, the UK's leading specialist in night vision and thermal imaging.
Modern Pulsar units feature either an XM, XQ or XP within their model designation, this refers to the type of thermal sensor they use, and indeed what performance they deliver in terms of resolution, and pixel pitch.
XM models such as the new Pulsar Axion and Thermion XM have a 320X240 12μm sensor, XQ models such as the Helion XQ38F and XQ50F have a 384x288 17μm sensor and XP models feature a 640x480 17μm sensor such as is found in Thermion XP50 , Helion XP38 and 50 and Accolade XP50.
The new XM sensor models have a 320x240 pixel pitch which results in images having smoother edges and more detailed heat mapping, which in turn offers a greater ability to recognise and identify objects.
The smaller pixel pitch and sensor also helps to reduce the physical overall size of the unit.
Sensor Resolution, Micron, Pixel Pitch - What does it mean?
Each sensor has a resolution specification such as "320x240" which is the physical resolution of the sensor.
The larger the number...usually the better quality performance...however a lower pixel pitch of 12 micron (such as in the XM series) also has a greater effect on the image quality. Put a Helion XQ38F next to a Axion XM38 at the same distance...the XM will give a sharper cleaner image, due to the smaller pixel pitch, resulting in images having smoother edges and more detailed heat mapping which in turn offers a greater ability to recognise and identify objects compared to similar sized 12 micron sensors.
