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 CG260 has a Truesense Imaging full frame sensor with high quantum efficiency. This CCD has two output amplifiers: one for low noise and a second for exceptionally high full well capacity. All Aspen systems are backed by a 2 year warranty on the camera and lifetime warranty on the CCD chamber integrity.
Additional Features:
- 32 MByte camera memory
- Subarray readout and fast sequencing modes
- Adjustable fan speed for low/zero vibration
- General purpose programmable I/O port
- Programmable status indicators
- 32/64 bit ActiveX drivers included
- Field upgradeable firmware
- AR coated silica windows
