Alta F9 Specifications - Apogee Instruments, Inc.

DESCRIPTION
ALTA ® F9
High Performance
Cooled CCD Camera System
The F9 represents the next step in the evolution of the Alta line of cameras with faster readout speeds. The Alta F9 uses a large
format 6-megapixel Truesense Imaging sensor, ideal for applications requiring a large field of view with a small pixel size. All
Alta systems are backed by a 2 year warranty on the camera and lifetime warranty on the CCD chamber integrity.
