The Raspberry Pi HQ camera uses a Sony IMX477 stacked, back-illuminated sensor, 12.3 megapixels, 7.9 mm sensor diagonal, 1.55 μm × 1.55 μm pixel size.  We have removed the Color Filter Array (CFA) to convert this camera into a true monochrome device with no microlenses and no CFA.

The High Quality Camera is designed to accept CS-mount lenses and, with the supplied adapter, C-mount lenses. The CGL 6 mm CS-mount and 16 mm C-mount lenses are examples of third-party products that are compatible with the High Quality Camera.  The camera also has an adjustable backfocus tocus so that you dial in focus for a particular lens.  The plastic lens housing module has an ICF.  You can easily remove the housing from the PCB and push the ICF out of the housing or buy the camera from us with no ICF.

You can also use our Llewellyn Optics M12 Fused Silica lens that transmits light below 200nm (77% @200nm) using a C-Mount to M12 adapter with no vignetting.
