Cooled <strong>CCD</strong> Camera System<br />
<strong>ASCENT</strong><br />
The Ascent Camera Series supports a variety of interline transfer<br />
sensors with high quantum efficiency and low dark current. Most<br />
cameras are available with a choice of monochrome sensor or color<br />
sensor with a Bayer mosaic. Low noise and small pixels are ideal for<br />
chemiluminescence, fluorescence, and microscopy.<br />
