High Performance Cooled CCD Camera System
System Features*1
• High Resolution Sensor
9.3 Megapixel sensor with 12 μm pixels delivers an exceptionally
large field of view with high resolution.
• Programmable TE cooling down to 45oC below ambient
Ideal for detection of weak chemiluminescence or astronomy images,
enabling long exposure acquisitions with optimized signal to noise ratio.
• USB 2.0 interface
Direct ‘Plug and Play’ simplicity of USB 2.0.

High photometric accuracy.
• High longevity shutter
Shutter during readout and take dark reference frames - 63 mm.
• Programmable I/O port
Synchronization with intricate experimental set-ups.
• Remote Triggering
LVTTL input allows exposure to start within 25 microseconds of the rising
edge of the trigger.
• Focusing mode
Faster readout option, ideal for focus optimisation.
• Andor OEM optimisation
Compact and robust, Andor integration support, Andor quality enhancement,
Andor post-sale support. Now also supported by ‘Andor SDK’
Apogee Alta F9000: Compact, 9.3 Megapixel CCD
Ideal for OEM and astronomy applications, the Apogee Alta family has been a mainstay of high end imaging for many years, offering a wide range of full frame and interline CCDs. A USB 2.0 interface offers the convenience of simple, robust connection to PC.
The Alta F9000 uses a very large format 9.3 megapixel full frame sensor with anti-blooming gates, ideal for applications requiring large field of view, such as astrophotography,
sky surveys and radiology. Cooling down to 45oC below ambient results in a low dark current contribution. These features combine to make the Alta F9000 an ideal solution for applications requiring both a large field of view and optimal signal to noise ratio, such as astrophotography, sky surveys and radiology.
