Apogee Ascent A32 CCD Camera with KAF-3200ME Grade 2 Front-Illuminated Sensor

The Ascent A32 has a Kodak Blue Plus full frame sensor with high resolution and very high quantum efficiency. The small pixels are ideal for microscopy. Low noise and large field-of-view are ideal for OEMs, biological sciences, spectroscopy, and astronomy.

Includes: 6v intl power supply, user manual, usb cable, fan cooling back.

Ascent is the latest imaging technology from Apogee Instruments. Many of the features are built on the highly successful Alta series. Ascent CCD cameras are the perfect choice for applications requiring high speed, low cost and a compact enclosure. Price includes a USB cable, international power supply, and ActiveX driver. Software & adapters are sold separately.
