ATIK CAMERAS [Apx26]

The ATIK Apx26 is a compact, high-performance cooled camera designed for demanding low-light applications. Its standout features include exceptionally low read noise of 1.2 e⁻ in High Gain Mode and minimal dark current of 0.0008 e⁻/s/px at -15°C, enabling exposures up to 24 hours without image degradation. The thermoelectric cooling system reduces sensor temperature by 35°C below ambient, maintaining optimal signal-to-noise ratios during extended sessions. With a solid yet compact build and a frame rate of 4 FPS at full resolution, the Apx26 is well-suited for astronomy, Space Domain Awareness, and life science applications requiring both long-duration stability and versatile imaging capabilities.
