Terms and Conditions
Lead time 6-8 weeks, built to order 


  • 1 to 4 MHz 16-Bit digitization
  • 32 MByte camera memory
  • Field upgradeable firmware
  • Subarray readout and fast sequencing modes

The F42-UV represents the next step in the evolution of the Alta line of cameras with faster readout speeds. The Alta U42-UV has a back-illuminated full frame 4-megapixel CCD with sensitivity down to 200 nm. This CCD does not operate in MPP mode, so has much higher dark current than other E2V CCDs. All Alta systems are backed by a 2 year warranty on the camera and lifetime warranty on the CCD chamber integrity.
