Camera Technical Specifications
G2 series of CCD cameras are manufactured with two kinds of CCD detectors:
● G2 cameras with Kodak KAF (Full Frame – FF) CCD architecture.
Almost all Full Frame CCD detector area is exposed to light. This is
why these detectors provide very high quantum efficiency. Although
Full Frame detectors could be equipped with so-called Anti Blooming
Gate (ABG), which prohibits blooming of the charge to neighboring
pixels when image is over-exposed, G2 cameras do not use ABG
version of CCD detectors. This ensures maximal possible linear
response to light in the whole dynamic range.
Cameras with Full Frame, non-ABG detectors are suitable for
scientific applications, where linear response is necessary for
photometric applications in astronomy, microscopy etc. High quantum
efficiency could be used also for narrow-band imaging, where
overexposure is a rare exception, and for imaging of small objects
without a bright star in the field of view.
