Teledyne Dalsa has launched its large-format low light imaging CCD camera, the QuantaPro 2K. The CCD camera is ideal for astronomical, scientific, and medical imaging.
The QuantaPro 2K is an affordable solution for a range of scientific applications. With its high sensitivity thermoelectric cooled full frame technology, the camera is designed for low light conditions and long integration times.
Offering an economical solution through the use of a front illuminated device, the quantum efficiency (QE) approaches that of back illumination, reaching a peak QE of 70 per cent. In addition, the single output format running at 10MHz allows for higher frame rates without the complications of multi-output tap matching.
Features and benefits of the QuantaPro 2K include: internal cooling to -35°C with anti fog feature; large 5 x 5cm format with highly sensitive 24µm pixels; GigE interface; single output architecture; low readout noise and dark current (dark current reaches 0.1e-/pix/sec at -35°C); and linear 16-bit digitisation providing dynamic range to 10,000:1 (80dB).
