Product description

More about the series Aspen...

Ideally suited to challenging astronomy and physical science imaging applications, the Apogee Aspen family offers a range of popular full frame and interline CCD sensors, within a camera platform that is designed to push performance to the maximum.

  • Deep thermoelectric cooling ensures optimal sensitivity for long exposure applications.
  • The simple convenience of a USB 2.0 interface is accompanied by an Ethernet network interface with a built-in web server.
  • The Apogee Aspen also utilizes a new extremely high reliability shutter, specified for >5 million shutter cycles.

The Aspen CG8050 has a 8.2 megapixel format interline transfer CCD sensor with low noise and high quantum efficiency and small 5.5 µm pixels. Cooling down to 60°C below ambient results in a low dark current contribution.
These features combine to make the CG8050 ideal for microscopy applications requiring both high resolution and large field of view.
