Aspen is the newest in design innovation from Apogee Imaging Systems. Aspen increases cooling performance in a smaller package, improves stray light baffling, adds a Network interface with a built-in web server, supports dual output CCDs up to 16Mhz and sets a new standard in shutter reliability. The Aspen CG8050 has a 8-megapixel format interline transfer sensor with low noise and high quantum efficiency. The camera is available with a monochrome (CG8050) or color (CG8050C) sensor. Small pixels are ideal for microscopy. All Aspen systems are backed by a 2 year warranty on the camera and lifetime warranty on the CCD chamber integrity.
