High Performance Cooled CCD Camera System
System Features*1
• High Resolution Sensor
1.0 Megapixel sensor with 13 μm pixels delivers a large field of
view with high resolution.
• Programmable TE cooling down to 50oC below ambient
Ideal for detection of weak chemiluminescence or astronomy
images, enabling long exposure acquisitions with optimised
signal to noise ratio.
• 16-Bit digitization
High photometric accuracy.
• High longevity shutter
Shutter during readout and take dark reference frames - 25
and 43 mm options.
• 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’
• USB 2.0 interface
Direct ‘Plug and Play’ simplicity of USB 2.0.
Apogee Alta F47: 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. A USB 2.0 interface offers the convenience of simple, robust connection to PC.
The Alta F47 has a back-illuminated full frame megapixel CCD with exceptionally high quantum efficiency and without anti-blooming structures to further improve sensitivity. The standard midband coating (MB) has the highest peak in the visible. The UV-enhanced option (UV) has the highest QE in the UV region.
Cooling down to 50oC below ambient results in a low dark current contribution. These features combine to make the Alta F47 an exceptionally versatile performer, and an ideal solution for many astronomy or physical science applications.
