A 14 MP global-shutter BSI sCMOS camera for large-field, high-frame-rate imaging over a 40G fiber link.

The Libra 5514 is built around a back-illuminated global-shutter sCMOS sensor with 4608 × 3072 pixels at 5.5 µm, giving 83% peak QE and a 30.5 mm diagonal. Its 40G CoaXPress-over-Fiber interface transfers full 14 MP frames at up to 330 fps in 8-bit mode. The camera is intended as an economical high-speed option for research systems and industrial inspection.

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) covers more of the sample per frame and reduces stitching
  • Full-resolution frame rates of 330 fps (8 bit), 230 fps (10 bit), 220 fps (12 bit) and 80 fps (16-bit HDR)
  • About 4620 Mpixel/s, compared with 420 Mpixel/s for a typical 4.2 MP sCMOS camera at 100 fps
  • 40G CoaXPress-over-Fiber (QSFP+) with low latency, suited to multi-camera synchronized systems
  • 15 ke⁻ full well in HDR mode (30 ke⁻ binned), 77.5 dB dynamic range, exposure from 2 µs
  • Air or liquid cooling; defect pixel correction built in, flat-field correction optional

Typical Applications

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