Plug-and-play 5 MP global shutter color camera for microscope workstations and slide scanning over USB 3.0.

The Libra 3405UC is a compact, USB-powered color camera with a 5 MP global shutter CMOS sensor (GMAX 3405). It connects directly to standard microscopes and PCs over USB 3.0 and reaches 65 fps at 8 bit at the full 2448 × 2048 resolution. ISP auto white balance and AI-based color correction give dependable color for H&E-stained sections and teaching, while the global shutter avoids motion artifacts during fast scanning.

Key Features

  • Global shutter exposes all pixels simultaneously, avoiding motion blur and distortion during fast stage movement
  • USB 3.0 plug-and-play connection; powered over USB at under 4 W
  • ISP auto white balance and AI color correction for accurate color in H&E staining and teaching
  • Acquisition and analysis software with real-time image stitching and depth-of-field fusion
  • 3.4 µm pixels suited to optical systems below 40×, resolving fine detail in cell and tissue samples
  • Three gain modes; readout noise down to 1.7 e⁻ in Sensitive mode (12 bit)
  • Compact 45 × 45 × 60 mm passively cooled housing; C-mount or customized optical interface

Typical Applications

  • Pathology slide scanning
  • Fluorescence slide scanning
  • Bright-field microscopy
  • H&E-stained section imaging and teaching
  • Industrial inspection
