Overview

Both QHY990 and QHY991 include a 25mm filter holder. 25mm filter is a very common filter type for lab applications.  The
SWIR filter is easy to be installed inside the camera. With this adapter, the camera still meets the 17.5mm C-mount B.F.L.

QHY990 and QHY991 have both air cooling and liquid cooling version.  The air cooling can get the -35C below ambient.
The liquid cooling version can get -45C below ambient with normal temperature liquid and can get -60 to -80C below
ambient with cold liquid.  Typically the InGaAs sensor has a high dark current than Silicon-based material. If you are
doing the long exposure with this camera (eg. exposure >5 sec) QHYCCD recommends selecting the liquid cooling version.

Applications:  SWIR Astronomy Imaging and Photometry, Daytime Star Observing, Optical  Communication,  Laser, Optic
Labs.
