About QSI 583WS Monochrome Cooled Full Frame CCD Camera 8.3MP

The QSI 583ws camera employs a Kodak KAF-8300 8.3 megapixel full-frame CCD image sensor with microlens technology. The KAF-8300 sensor has a photoactive array of 3326W x 2504H pixels. It has excellent quantum efficiency between 350nm and 1000nm with peak QE over 60%. Low dark current and high pixel charge capacity result in a dynamic range exceeding 70db. 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 increased field of view, high quantum efficiency, wide dynamic range and low noise performance make the 583ws ideally suited to a broad range of demanding astronomical, scientific, medical and industrial imaging applications. The compact design of the QSI 500 Series allows the 583ws to set a new benchmark for cost and size in a high performance, full-featured scientific CCD camera. With optional features and upgradeability, the QSI 583ws can be tailored to fit your needs today and in the future.

The 583ws camera system is supported by industry leading image acquisition software and development tools are available for creating custom Windows or Linux imaging applications. The Model 583ws adds an internal five position filter wheel to the camera in a 'full-size' camera body. Even with the large 8.3mp sensor, the short backfocus and close spacing provided by the internal color filter wheel allows the 583ws to work even with optics faster than f/4.5 with no significant vignetting. The filter wheel accepts any standard 1.25" filters. Various filter configurations are available. The filter wheel can be easily removed and replaced to change or clean the glass filters.
