The Peregrine 486 is a high-performance scientific camera for use in applications that demand extreme sensitivity under low light conditions. The camera is based upon the CCD 486, a scientific grade 4k x 4k sensor, available in either front- or back-illuminated versions. The camera boasts a low-noise, dual-speed, four-port readout architecture for superior speed and sensitivity. Dark current is virtually eliminated with deep thermoelectric cooling to -50 ºC. Hard metal seals assure a reliable vacuum and continuous maintenance-free operation. Linear, 16-bit dynamic range and sophisticated features such as software-controlled windowing and binning make the Peregrine the ultimate instrument in scientific optical imaging. This scientific camera is packaged in a compact and rugged housing and is readily adapted to your optical interface. For a 2k x 2k version of this camera please see the Peregrine 447.
