Apogee Ascent A285 CCD Camera with Sony ICX-285 Interline Sensor

The Apogee Ascent A285 has an 1.4-megapixel interline transfer sensor with high quantum efficiency. Low noise and small pixels are ideal for microscopy.

Ascent is the latest imaging technology from Apogee Instruments. Many of the features are built on the highly successful Alta series. Apogee Ascent cameras are designed for demanding scientific applications, and are the perfect choice for applications requiring high speed, low cost and a compact enclosure. High sensitivity sensors detect very weak signals that cannot be seen by the human eye or standard CCD cameras. The direct USB 2.0 link between camera and computer allows easy installation, portability and fast data transfer rate. High resolution enables detection of very fine detail across a wide field of view. The 6.8 - 7.4 micron pixels in some of these cameras are the ideal balance between optical sampling and dynamic range for microscopy. Used with the optional CRI liquid crystal tunable filters, the cameras acquire stunning publication quality color images. All cameras come with their own easy to use software. An ActiveX software development kit and Linux drivers (sold separately) are available for easy integration into custom applications.
