High Performance Cooled CCD Camera System
System Features*1
• High Resolution Sensor
0.4 Megapixel sensor with 20 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.
• USB 2.0 interface
Direct ‘Plug and Play’ simplicity of USB 2.0.
• 16-Bit digitization
High photometric accuracy.
• High longevity shutter
Shutter during readout and take dark reference frames - 25 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 F260: Compact, 0.3 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 F260 has a 0.3 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 F260 an exceptional performer for OEMs, biological sciences, spectroscopy, and astronomy.
