Apogee Alta F16000: Compact, 15.8 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 F16000 has a 15.8 megapixel interline transfer sensor with a high quantum efficiency. Cooling down to 45oC below ambient results in a low dark current contribution. With its very large field of view, low noise performance and small pixels, the Alta F16000 is an ideal solution for many OEM applications, biological and physical sciences.
