Cooled CCD cameras
Lambert Instruments represents: Apogee’s Alta Scientific Imaging Systems, cooled CCD cameras with high sensitivity, up to 96% q.e. (quantum efficiency), high resolution, wide dynamic range and selectable speed. The Alta Cooled CCD cameras are available with a wide variety of CCDs from interlines to full frame front-illuminated to back-illuminated, from 512 x 512 up to 4096 x 4096, with USB 2.0 interface. For astronomy, spectroscopy and life sciences applications. Alta Cooled CCD cameras: in B/W and colour versions.
By cooling the CCD image sensor, the dark current is lowered, allowing image acquisition at very low light levels where long exposure times are needed. To increase the camera sensitivity even more, the read-out noise is reduced by using a lower read-out speed. These techniques are used in high performance 12 and 16 bits digital cameras. The latest software and firmware revisions and configuration tools can be found on Apogee’s Alta Update Page.
