QHY550M Monochrome Cooled CMOS Camera

The QHY550 has the 2/3-inch SONY 5.0mega pixel IMX250 Global shutter CMOS sensor. Besides the monochrome version it has a special polarized version. QHY550 has a built-in two stage TEC cooler. It can cool the sensor to -35C below ambient. This can reduce the dark current of IMX250 significantly--greatly improving the dark signal detect performance. This is especially true for detecting the tiny differences of the polarized light which is necessary for astronomy, life science and optical lab.

This is the monochrome version.
