Application context

Why this design is used

Scientific imaging

I3CMOS02800KMA: The Sony IMX421LLJ sensor, 2.8 MP (1936×1464) resolution, and 4.5 µm × 4.5 µm pixels defines the sensitivity, sampling and field coverage available for Scientific imaging. The 121 fps @ 1936×1464; 425 fps @ 968×732 frame-rate listing also sets the fastest full-frame acquisition regime.

Instrument integration

I3CMOS02800KMA: The Sony IMX421LLJ sensor, 2.8 MP (1936×1464) resolution, and 4.5 µm × 4.5 µm pixels defines the sensitivity, sampling and field coverage available for Instrument integration. The 121 fps @ 1936×1464; 425 fps @ 968×732 frame-rate listing also sets the fastest full-frame acquisition regime.

System integration

Integration and compatibility

Use these checks to connect I3CMOS02800KMA to the surrounding optical, mechanical and control system. Every value shown is taken from this model's own specification record.

Lens and microscope interface
Lens Mount: C-mount
Use a lens image circle that covers the sensor and check flange distance before adding C/CS, F-mount or M42 adapters.
Sensor and sampling
Sensor: Sony IMX421LLJ · Resolution: 2.8 MP (1936×1464)
Match pixel pitch to the diffraction-limited spot the optics deliver. Sampling finer than the optics resolve multiplies data volume without adding information; sampling coarser discards resolution you have paid for.
Interface and data rate
Frame Rate: 121 fps @ 1936×1464; 425 fps @ 968×732 · Interface: USB3.0
Confirm the host can sustain the interface bandwidth continuously, not in burst. A camera that outruns the write path stalls acquisition rather than dropping quietly to a lower rate.
Hardware synchronization
GPIO: 1 opto-isolated input, 1 opto-isolated output, 1 non-isolated I/O port
Confirm edge polarity, pulse-width limits and whether each line is opto-isolated before connecting TTL or GPIO signals. A software exposure command is not equivalent to a hardware trigger.
Cooling and noise floor
Dynamic Range: 72 dB
Judge these figures at the exposure time you will actually use. Cooling matters where dark current accumulates over seconds; read noise dominates short exposures where it never does.

Technical FAQ

Integration questions for I3CMOS02800KMA

What lens mount is required for the I3CMOS02800KMA?

Lens Mount: C-mount. Use a lens image circle that covers the sensor and check flange distance before adding C/CS, F-mount or M42 adapters.

What sensor and pixel pitch does the I3CMOS02800KMA use?

Sensor: Sony IMX421LLJ · Resolution: 2.8 MP (1936×1464). Match pixel pitch to the diffraction-limited spot the optics deliver. Sampling finer than the optics resolve multiplies data volume without adding information; sampling coarser discards resolution you have paid for.

How does the I3CMOS02800KMA connect to the acquisition computer?

Frame Rate: 121 fps @ 1936×1464; 425 fps @ 968×732 · Interface: USB3.0. Confirm the host can sustain the interface bandwidth continuously, not in burst. A camera that outruns the write path stalls acquisition rather than dropping quietly to a lower rate.

Does the I3CMOS02800KMA support hardware triggering?

GPIO: 1 opto-isolated input, 1 opto-isolated output, 1 non-isolated I/O port. Confirm edge polarity, pulse-width limits and whether each line is opto-isolated before connecting TTL or GPIO signals. A software exposure command is not equivalent to a hardware trigger.

What is the noise performance of the I3CMOS02800KMA?

Dynamic Range: 72 dB. Judge these figures at the exposure time you will actually use. Cooling matters where dark current accumulates over seconds; read noise dominates short exposures where it never does.
