A 14 MP global-shutter BSI sCMOS camera for high-speed, high-throughput scientific and industrial imaging.

The Libra 5514 Pro combines a back-illuminated global-shutter sCMOS sensor (4608 × 3072, 5.5 µm pixels) with 83% peak QE and median read noise below 2 e⁻. The 100G CoaXPress-over-Fiber version reaches 670 fps at full 14 MP resolution, and a 40G version is also available. A compact, low-vibration body makes it straightforward to build into high-throughput imaging and inspection instruments.

Key Features

  • Global shutter with a BSI sCMOS sensor: 83% peak QE and median read noise below 2 e⁻
  • 30.5 mm diagonal (25.34 × 16.90 mm) for large samples and modern 30 mm optical systems
  • 5.5 µm pixels balance resolution and sensitivity with optics above 40×
  • L5514Pro-100G: 670 fps at 8/10 bit, 350 fps at 12 bit and 80 fps in 16-bit HDR mode
  • L5514Pro-40G: 330 fps at 8 bit and 220 fps at 12 bit; ROI readout reaches similar frame rates to the 100G model on smaller fields
  • 15 ke⁻ full well in HDR mode (30 ke⁻ binned), 77.5 dB dynamic range, exposure from 2 µs
  • Air or liquid cooling; on-camera defect pixel correction and flat-field correction

Typical Applications

  • High-speed slide scanning and digital pathology
  • Gene sequencing
  • Spatial omics
  • Neuroscience and voltage imaging
  • Super-resolution imaging
  • Semiconductor inspection
