  • Description

    The Kepler Series is a giant step forward in throughput, providing faster digitization, higher speed interfaces, and up to 35 channel readout. Sensors to be supported include front and back illuminated sCMOS, interline transfer CCDs, and EMCCDs.

    The KL4040 scientific CMOS camera has the same pixel size and imaging area as the popular KAF-16803 CCD, but with half the noise and 40% higher quantum efficiency. Kepler cooled sCMOS cameras provide ultra-high sensitivity, ultra-low noise, and high frame rates, all at game-changing price to performance ratio.

    Amelia ★★★★★

    Was a bit skeptical about the deep cooling claim, but this camera actually runs 60°C below ambient even after hours of use. The optional QSFP upgrade for 8 Gbps makes transferring large frames effortless.

    Benjamin O. ★★★★★

    The USB3.0 connection transfers files quickly, and the AR coated window really cuts down on reflections during long imaging sessions. I’ve been using it for spectroscopy and the cooling keeps the sensor stable even after hours of operation.

    Ava A. ★★★★★

    The USB3.0 connection on this camera makes transferring large image files incredibly quick, and the anti-dew technology has been a lifesaver during humid night shoots.
