The Canon LI5030SA is a high-performance 35mm full-frame CMOS sensor offering 19 Megapixels of resolution (5688 × 3334), designed for applications requiring simultaneous exposure across the entire image. Unlike traditional rolling shutters, the LI5030SA features a global shutter architecture, enabling precise capture of high-speed subjects without distortion.
With large 6.4 µm pixels, the sensor delivers exceptional sensitivity and image quality. It supports 12-bit output at up to 57.99 fps via 24-channel digital output, making it ideal for demanding imaging environments.
The LI5030SA series includes:
-
LI5030SAC – Color (RGB)
-
LI5030SAI – RGBIR (Infrared sensitivity)
-
LI5030SAM – Monochrome
-
LI5030SAN – Bare (no microlens or color filter)
The LI5030SAN variant is optimized for scientific and medical research, including applications such as fiber-coupled imaging and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), thanks to its removable lid glass and unobstructed sensor surface.
Key Advantages:
-
High resolution + high sensitivity + global shutter
-
Pixel size: 6.4 µm
-
Versatile output options with multiple filter configurations
-
Suitable for microscopy, factory automation, drone imaging, traffic surveillance, and more
