Apogee Aspen CG47: Compact,1 Megapixel CCD
Ideally suited to challenging astronomy and physical science imaging applications, the Apogee Aspen family offers a range of popular full frame CCD sensors, within a camera platform that is designed to push performance. Deep thermoelectric cooling ensures optimal sensitivity for long exposure applications. The simple convenience of a USB 2.0 interface is accompanied by an Ethernet network interface with a built-in web server. The Apogee Aspen also utilizes a new extremely high reliability shutter, specified for > 5 million shutter cycles.
The Aspen CG47 has a back-illuminated full frame 1 megapixel CCD with very high quantum efficiency (>90% @550nm). The standard midband coating provides the highest peak in the visible range. Cooling down to 60oC below ambient results in a low dark current contribution. These features combine to make the Aspen CG47 an exceptionally versatile performer, and an ideal solution for many astronomy or physical science applications.
