The Atik 383L+ is a dream combination of low-noise electronics and a professional sensor at a fantastic price!
The cooled 8-megapixel camera with Kodak CCD impresses with its low readout noise. This means that you get all the information captured by the sensitive Kodak sensor to your computer with only minimal losses. As the camera maintains its sensitivity constant over long exposure times, it is particularly suitable for sensitive photometric measurements.
Kodak uses innovative materials for the conductor tracks vapour-deposited onto the chip, which are significantly more transparent in the visual and near-infrared range than conventional materials. This has enabled Kodak to significantly increase sensitivity (quantum efficiency).
Effective cooling with a Peltier element and fan ensures very fast deployment. The temperature can be regulated to an accuracy of 0.1°C. The glass plate in front of the sensor also contributes to cooling: since quartz is used instead of BK7 glass, heat conduction is minimised. The quartz window is coated on both sides to prevent reflections. A desiccant prevents the front window from fogging up from the inside.
