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 CG1008 has a back-illuminated full frame spectroscopy format CCD with exceptionally high quantum efficiency across the visible and in the UV. The 12 micron pixels allow high spectral resolution. All Aspen systems are backed by a 2 year warranty on the camera and lifetime warranty on the CCD chamber integrity.
