Alta® F8300 Specifications   Printer friendly PDF Alta F8300 Specifications The F8300 represents the next step in the evolution of the Alta line of cameras with faster readout speeds. The Alta F8300 uses a medium format 8-megapixel Truesense Imaging sensor, ideal for applications requiring a large field of view with a smaller pixel. The F8300C uses the color version of the CCD (non-removable uncoated cover glass only). All Alta systems are backed by a 2 year warranty on the camera and lifetime warranty on the CCD chamber integrity. 1 to 8 MHz 16-Bit digitization 32 MByte camera memory Field upgradeable firmware Subarray readout and fast sequencing modes 32/64 bit ActiveX drivers included with every system Programmable cooling to 55°C below ambient General purpose programmable I/O port Adjustable fan speed for low/zero vibration Programmable status indicators AR coated silica windows RBI pre-flash available Moisture free chambers Liquid cooling option Precision locking filter wheels optional MaxIm DL/CCD and CCDSoft software packages are offered at special prices when purchased at the same time as a camera system.
