e-con Systems camera kits for the original Jetson Nano with the highest resolution

Asked as: “For a hobby microscope on the original Jetson Nano, which e-con Systems camera kit for the Nano has the highest resolution?”

Answered by the Rapidflare agent

The e-con Systems camera kit with the highest resolution for the original Jetson Nano is the e-CAM131_CUNX — a rolling-shutter MIPI CSI-2 camera kit with an AR1335 sensor at 4208 × 3120 pixels (about 13 MP), and its catalog entry lists Jetson Nano among its supported families. Its product page even describes it as a 4K camera for Jetson Nano/Xavier NX. e-consyste...e-consystems.com ↗“Rolling-shutter camera kit using an AR1335 sensor”

For comparison, among the e-con camera kits in the catalog that list Jetson Nano support:

A few honest caveats for your microscope project:

  • There is also an e-CAM30_CUNANO kit — an AR0330 imaging module with an adapter board specifically for the Jetson Nano platform — but the catalog lists no resolution for it, so I can't compare it on that basis. e-consyste...e-consystems.com ↗“AR0330 imaging module with an adapter board for the NVIDIA Jetson Nano platform”
  • The catalog's resolution figures are the sensors' maximum output resolution; I couldn't verify frame rates or how a given resolution behaves over a microscope optics path, as those details aren't listed for these kits.
  • If you're not strictly tied to e-con, the catalog also lists Basler's daA4200-30mci-JNANO-NVDK kits — 13 MP dart camera with a Jetson Nano processing board — worth a look at the same pixel count. docs.basle...docs.baslerweb.com ↗“13 MP dart camera, Jetson Nano processing board and accessories”
