The Apogee Alta family has been a mainstream of high end imaging for many years, offering a wide range of full frame and interline CCDs. Cooling performance down to 45° C below ambient ensures optimal signal to noise for long exposure applications. A USB 2.0 interface offers the convenience of simple, robust connection to PC.
Apogee Alta cameras are available with a wide variety of sensors, including: Back-illuminated sensors with very high quantum efficiency, some with sensitivity in the deep UV; Interline transfer sensors with fast electronic shuttering and inherent anti-blooming; front-illuminated CCDs with high sensitivity in the near-IR without etaloning and a range of resolution options up to 16.8 Megapixel.
Features and Benefits:
- High resolution sensors: Sensors up to 16.8 Megapixel, offering large field of view at high resolution
- Programmable TE cooling to 50 °C below ambient: Ideal for astronomy images, enabling long exposure acquisitions with optimized signal to noise ratio
