This high performance cooled digital 12bit CCD camera system comprises advanced CCD and electronics technology. The system features thermo-
electrical cooling of the image sensor ( down to . 12 ° C) , extremely low noise
( down to 4e-rms) and an outstanding quantum eff ciency, which achieves
a high spectral sensitivity in general and especially in the NIR. Exposure
time modes ( software selectable) range from 500ns ( fast shutter) to 1000s
( long exposure) . A high speed serial data link connects the system to the
PC ( f ber optic link available)
