Apogee Atla F42 Cooled Monochrome CCD Camera
The Alta F42 has a back-illuminated full frame 4.2 megapixel CCD with very high quantum efficiency (>90% @550nm) and without anti-blooming structures to further improve sensitivity. The midband coating provides the highest peak in the visible range. Cooling down to 50°C below ambient results in a low dark current contribution. These features combine to make the Alta F42 an exceptionally versatile performer, and an ideal solution for many astronomy or physical science applications that require high sensitivity and a large field of view.
cooling down to 50°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
4.2 Megapixel sensor with 13.5 mm pixels delivers a large field of view with high resolution. The CCD42-40 offers QE greater than 90% 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 8 e- (RMS @ 0.67 MHz). This give you a Maximum dynamic rages of 79.7db or 13.2 stops.
