ASPEN®

High PerformanceCooled CCD Camera System

Aspen® is the newest in design innovation from Apogee Imaging Systems. Aspen® increases cooling performance in a smaller package, improves stray light baffling, adds a Network interface with a built-in web server, supports dual output CCDs up to 16Mhz and sets a new standard in shutter reliability. All Aspen® systems are backed by a 2 year warranty on the camera and lifetime warranty on the CCD chamber integrity.
