The table shows the pixel resolution of current cameras.Please note, that the number
of pixels determines optical resolution but doesn`t say anything about the pixel size of
the camera sensor.
With pixel sizes on the sensor < 5 µm, atest of the image quality should be made.

The objective is made for a maximum sensor size of 2/3".
When using a 2/3" camera the corresponding values rewsult from multiplication of
1/3" camera values with 2.
