Pixel pitch, explained | 12 µm vs. 17 µm | Choosing the right sensor

- If you are looking at some of the new devices by Pulsar, you must have noticed that they have different sensors. Typically, when looking at a sensor’s parameters, we first look at the resolution. And we all know that the bigger the resolution, the better the image quality.
But you may have noticed that there’s something else written next to the resolution: in our case, it’s either @12 µm or @17 µm. And that is pixel pitch, or, in simpler terms, pixel size. And while the resolution has a lot to do with image quality, the pixel pitch is responsible for the sensitivity of the sensor. And this is particularly important in tough weather conditions - rain, fog, cold mornings, and so on.
So, we hope this helps next time you’re choosing a thermal imager - at least now you know that’s it not only the size of the sensor - but that of the pixel itself, too - matters!

Great informative video
Your flagship HD sensor has a bigger NETD, why is that?
Also, how to choose between Axion and Telos? Assuming the same sensor.
Hello! Please send us an email: support@pulsar-vision.com
We will answer all your questions in detail.
Laurynas is a great expert. Nice presentation. I really got interested.
Great info. Bouncy hands, just put it on a table next time
Hello! Thank you for your feedback and for your advice.
Good day!
I am using thermion xq50 40 net mk for hunt since few years. In bad zero wet temp conditions its looks bad. My observation unit is helion 2 pro with 25 mk much better. My shooting distance is 200 300 and 400 m!!! I would need the scope with new hd 1024x760 sensor, 25 mk and base magn 4× or better 6 x. Could you PLS produce such unit for me????
Hi! Thank you for your feedback. we will take your request into account when developing new devices
By placing the buttons from the top to the left-hand side you have just lost most left-hand shooters. Buttons on the top kept it ambidextrous. Unless you can mount it upside down?
Hi! Which position of the buttons do you find the most convenient?
Good informative video! Will you also make a video covering mK values and what they means for the picture quality? Merry X-mas from Denmark
Magnificent explanation 👍 Thank you.
I'm sorry but this is a horrible video. You cannot compare a 35mm focal length to a 50mm focal length. You need to compare the same size focal lengths to get an accurate comparison, especially in inclement weather. To say that the pixel pitch is the difference in poor weather between a Helion 2 XP50 and a XG35 is incredibly misleading.
size of the sensor effects focal lengths ,if you put a 50mm on the smaller sensor it would be zoomed in
@@MatthewDannevik yes that’s an advantage of using 12 micron sensors. The pixel pitch has very little effect on image quality, especially as promoted in this video.
