Alta® ASP-F42 2048 x 2048 pixel 13.5micron sensor e2v scientific camera
This product is no longer available.
- 1 to 4 MHz 16-Bit digitization
- 32 MByte camera memory
- Field upgradeable firmware
- Subarray readout and fast sequencing modes
The F42 represents the next step in the evolution of the Alta line of cameras with faster readout speeds. The Alta F42 has a back-illuminated full frame 4-megapixel CCD with exceptionally high quantum efficiency. The standard midband coating has the highest peak in the visible; the optional broadband coating has somewhat higher QE in the near UV but lower QE across the visitble. All Alta systems are backed by a 2 year warranty on the camera and lifetime warranty on the CCD chamber integrity.
Additional Features
- 32/64 bit ActiveX drivers included with every system
- Programmable cooling to 55°C below ambient
- General purpose programmable I/O port
- Adjustable fan speed for low/zero vibration
- Programmable status indicators
- AR coated silica windows
- RBI pre-flash available
- Moisture free chambers
