Quantum Scientific Imaging QSI 504wsg Monochrome Cooled Full Frame CCD Camera with 0.4MP KAF-0402ME Image Sensor with Microlens Technology, Shutter, CFW and Guider Port

The standard 504wsg model camera employs a 400,000 pixel Kodak Enhanced Response full-frame CCD image sensor with microlens technology. The high quantum efficiency, wide dynamic range and low noise performance make the 504wsg ideally suited to a broad range of demanding astronomical, scientific and industrial imaging applications.

The KAF-0402ME sensor has a photoactive array of 768W x 512H pixels. It has excellent quantum efficiency between 350nm and 1000nm with significant enhancement at the blue end of the spectrum. Low dark current and high pixel charge capacity result in a dynamic range exceeding 76db.

The sensor employs a true two-phase charge transfer technology with a transparent gate that significantly increases optical response compared to traditional front illuminated full frame sensors. Micro lenses cover the surface of the CCD and focus the light through the transparent gate to further increase optical response.
