Readout Noise | 1.0e- to 3.7e- (Standard Mode) |
Dark Current | 0.0022e-/p/s @ -20C 0.0046e-/p/s @ -10C |
Exposure Time Range | 40us – 3600sec |
Unity Gain* | 25 (Extended Full Well Mode) * *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. |
