KestrelSpec Supported Cameras
Apogee Imaging Systems |
The KestrelSpec Lite and Full versions support all of the Alta camera models from Apogee Imaging Systems.
Key benefits of Apogee cameras:
- High quantum efficiency with Kodak's Blue Plus CCD sensors.
- Low dark current and read noise.
- Low to moderately priced systems.
- Back-illuminated E2V CCDs in some camera models.
- Support for all Alta cameras with either USB or Ethernet interface.
- Integrated KestrelSpec software control of all Apogee camera functions.

Andor Technology |
The KestrelSpec Full version supports Andor Technology's CCD, EMCCD (electron-multiplied) and ICCD (intensified) cameras that are most commonly used for spectroscopy, such as:
- the CCD models (DV4xx, iDus, Newton and iKon)
- the ICCD models (DH5xx)
- the iStar models (DH7xx and USB iStar)
- the EMCCD models (iXon, Luca r, Newton)
- the sCMOS models (NEO and Zyla)
Andor cameras with the 1K x 1K, E2V 47-10 CCD are very reliable when used with the SE 200 echelle-type spectrograph. The EMCCD cameras (iXon and Luca r) and the sCMOS cameras (NEO and Zyla) are used primarily with the EMU-120/65 echelle spectrograph.
