Lead time 6-8 weeks, built to order 


  • 1 to 8 MHz 16-Bit digitization
  • 32 MByte camera memory
  • Field upgradeable firmware
  • Subarray readout and fast sequencing modes

The F2000 represents the next step in the evolution of the Alta line of cameras with faster readout speeds. The Alta F2000 and F2000C have a 2-megapixel interline transfer sensor with high quantum efficiency and twice the dynamic range of similar Sony sensors. Low noise and small pixels are ideal for OEM applications, biological and physical sciences. The F2000 uses the monochrome Truesense KAI-2020M CCD; the F2000C uses the color KAI-2020CM. 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
  • Moisture free chambers
  • Liquid cooling option
  • Precision locking filter wheels optional
