• The Alta F16M features the largest sensor in the Alta range- a very large format 16.8 megapixel full frame sensor with micro-lenses and transparent gate electrodes to maximize sensitivity, as well as anti-blooming structure. Cooling down to 45°C below ambient results in a low darkcurrent contribution. These features make the Alta F16M an ideal solution for applications requiring both a large field of view and optimal signal to noise ratio, such as astrophotography, sky surveys and radiology.

  cooling down to 45°C below ambient

  Ideal for detection of weak chemiluminescence or astronomy images, enabling long exposure acquisitions with optimized signal to noise ratio

  

  

  High Resolution Sensor

  16.8 Megapixel sensor with 9 micron pixels delivers an exceptionally large field of view with high resolution. The KAF-16803 offers QE greater than 59% and a linearity better than 99%! Making it perfect for wide field, high-res, scientific imaging or Astrophotography

  16-Bit digitization

  High photometric accuracy and low read noise performace of 22.1 e- (RMS @ 0.87 MHz). This give you a Maximum dynamic rages of 72.6db or 12.1 stops.
