QHY268M-PRO I Monochrome Professional APS-C Format Camera

Starting Price: $3,399.00
Price as Configured: $3,399.00
Brand: QHYCCD / SKU: QHY-268M-PRO (110089)
Different from QHY268PH, the QHY268PRO is specially designed for scientific use with advanced qualities and functions. QHY268Pro M is a cooled scientific CMOS camera with a SONY IMX571 APS-C format CMOS sensor inside. 26mega pixels, back-illuminated, native 16BIT ADC. QE is up to 91% and readout noise is as low as 1.1e. Even with a 3.76um pixel size, it has a big full well up to 75ke.

Currently QHY offers a monochrome QHY268M Pro I as standard model. If you have requirement for a liquid-cooled version (QHY268M PRO LQ) or color version (QHY268C PRO), please contact us.

The QHY PCIE Card Kit is not included in QHY268M PRO; you can choose it in the add-ons below.

About This Product
The QHY-GPSBOX is a compact camera accessory that provides high-precision GPS hardware time scales allowing some QHYCCD cameras to obtain accurate time information of the camera's exposure time. In addition, this information is returned to the camera internally and added to the image data after the start of one frame of the image. GPS timing information and image information are therefore completely consistent. No confusion is created due to transmission, buffering or other reasons. It is very convenient to use and read.

*With the improvement of the CMOS technology, the 16bit CMOS camera has been released, like QHY600/268/411/461. For these cameras, even in lowest gain it has beyond the requirement of unit gain (less than 1e/ADU due to sufficient samples) So you can directly set gain 0 as start. Please note QHY600/268C/411/461 has extend full well mode. In this mode you still need to find out the unit gain position.
