SBIG STC-428-OEM Imaging Camera
The SBIG STC-428-OEM is high performance imaging camera for
demanding applications. It provides extremely high sensitivity, low noise
7 megapixel imaging in a compact, easily integrated package.
The STC-428-OEM scientific CMOS camera represents a major
improvement over CCD technology. Compared with previous CCD
models, the STC-428-OEM features higher sensitivity (78% QE versus
56%), significantly lower read noise (2.5 e- versus 9.3 e-), and 20X faster
readout. While a single exposure can equal CCD dynamic range, the
combination of fast readout and very low read noise allows for in-camera
stacking using SBIG’s
Stack
Pro™
to produce a greater dynamic range
than previously possible.
In addition, SBIG’s
SmartCooling™ active regulation maintains the
sensor temperature to within 0.1ºC, and minimizes fan speed based on
heat sink temperature for longer life and quieter operation.
The STC-428-OEM is our most popular scientific CMOS camera for OEM
applications such as ELISA microplate readers, colorimetry,
fluorescence, and similar low-light level imaging applications.
