Quantum Scientific Imaging QSI 532ws Monochrome Cooled Full Frame CCD Camera with 3.2 MP KAF-3200ME Class 2 Image Sensor, Microlens Technology, Mechanical Shutter, Filter Wheel

QSI's 532 model CCD camera employs a Kodak KAF-3200ME 3.2 megapixel Enhanced Response full-frame CCD image sensor with microlens technology. The KAF-3200ME sensor has a photoactive array of 2184W x 1472H 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 77db. 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 to focus the light through the transparent gate to further increase optical response.

The QSI 532ws comes with a "full-size" body and houses both a mechanical shutter and color filter wheel. The shutter is not only used for timing exposures, but can be left closed to produce 'dark frames' for subsequent image processing. Exposures can be as short as 0.03 seconds or as long as 240 minutes. The internal color filter wheel accepts any standard 1.25" filter and is normally supplied with a four filter LRGB color filter set. The filter wheel can easily be removed and replaced to change or clean the glass filters.
