The Sirius sensor inside the M3 offers a smaller sensor array (i.e., resolution) which in the world of high speed means faster recording speeds. This design choice creates an opportunity to record continuously at an impressive 517 frame per second when recording in regular mode, or 1000 frames per second in plus mode at full resolution of 1280x1024, which delivers one of the modern standards of high definition.
Inside the MotionScope body, the Sirius sensor allows users to record super fast events for periods of time surpassing what is possible in other cameras. Examples of useful applications of the M3 system include automated industrial uses, such as assembly line malfunction prevention and detection, and scientific uses including sustained observation of microscopic or quick-moving subjects.
