A 12 MP global shutter mono camera with 10 GigE output, built for integration into scanning and imaging instruments.

The Libra 3412M combines a 4096 × 3072 global shutter mono CMOS sensor with a 10 GigE interface and air cooling in a compact housing intended for instrument builders. Its 350–1100 nm response, with 47% QE at 800 nm, suits multi-channel fluorescence and near-infrared work, and it reaches 98 fps at full resolution in 8-bit mode.

Key Features

  • Global shutter exposes every pixel at the same time, so moving samples are recorded without rolling-shutter distortion
  • Full-resolution frame rates of 98 fps (8-bit), 65 fps (10-bit) and 62 fps (12-bit) over 10 GigE
  • About 3× the full-resolution speed of the USB 3.0 version of this sensor format (98 fps vs 28 fps)
  • Spectral response from 350 to 1100 nm, with 75% QE at 540 nm and 47% QE at 800 nm
  • Air cooling holds the sensor at 10 °C (25 °C ambient), for a dark current of 0.5 e⁻/pixel/s
  • Three gain modes (High Capacity, Balanced, Sensitive) with median readout noise down to 1.6 e⁻
  • 3.4 µm pixels matched to optical systems below 40× magnification; supported in Micro-Manager 2.0 and a C/C++/C#/Python SDK

Typical Applications

  • Pathology slide scanning
  • Multi-channel fluorescence imaging
  • Near-infrared microscopy
  • Industrial inspection
  • OEM instrument integration
