The MX916 camera specification:
- CCD type: Sony ICX083AL SuperHAD CCD with ultra low dark current and vertical anti-blooming.
- CCD pixel data: Pixel size: 11.6 x 11.2uM, image format 752 x 580 pixels (High Res. mode), or 23.2 x 22.4uM,
image format: 376 x 290 pixels (High sensitivity mode, pixels binned 2 x 2). Software controlled.
- CCD size: Imaging area: 8.7mm (horizontal) x 6.5mm (vertical).
- Spectral response: Peak response at 520nM (Green), 50% at 400nM (Violet) and 670nM (Near infra-red).
(Note the very good blue light performance, excellent for tri-colour and photometric work.)
- Quantum efficiency: Approx. 65% peak at 520nM.
- Readout noise: Less than15 electrons RMS.
- Full-well capacity: Greater than 300,000 e- (binned mode).
- Anti-blooming: Overload margin greater than 800x
- Dark current: Dark frame saturation time greater than 100 hours. Less than 0.1 electrons/ second at +10C
ambient.
- Data format: Full 16 bits.
- Computer interface: 8 bit unidirectional parallel port with bi-directional status lines (Standard Centronics
interface). 25 pin 'D' style plug for LPT1, 2 or 3, via a 5 metre x 6mm diameter cable.
- Image download time: Typically 6 seconds with a 200MHz PC and 'Fast Interface' module.
- Power requirements: 115VAC / 240VAC @ 12VA, or 12VDC @ 900 milliamps max.
- Cooling system: Regulated constant-current cooling supply built-in. Single-stage thermoelectric cooler to give
a CCD temperature of approximately -30C below ambient.
- Size: 63 x 95mm black anodised aluminium barrel with M42 thread at CCD window end and 15 way 'D' style
input plug at rear.
- Weight: 250g.
