enhancement, Andor post-sale support. Now also supported
by ‘Andor SDK’
Apogee Alta F6: Compact, 1.0 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. Cooling performance down to 500C below ambient ensures optimal signal to noise for long exposure applications. A USB 2.0 interface offers the convenience of simple, robust connection to PC.
The Alta F6 has a 1.0 megapixel full frame sensor. It has two output amplifiers enabling it to be configured in either a Low Noise, or a High Dynamic Range version depending on the application. High quantum efficiency and large pixels maximise sensitivity making the
Apogee Alta F6 an exceptional performer for OEMs, biological sciences, spectroscopy, and astronomy.
