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

The F4000 represents the next step in the evolution of the Alta line of cameras with faster readout speeds. The Alta F4000 and F4000C have a 4-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 F4000 uses the monochrome Truesense Imaging KAI-4022M CCD; the color version uses the KAI-4022CM. 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
