We continue to refi ne not just our electronics and our mechanical designs, but also our procedures, documentation, and customer recordkeeping. Its quite an accomplishment to manufacture and sell thousands and thousands of cameras, but unless they are robust, the result is a customer service nightmare.
In our effort to improve our process, weve achieved the following benchmarks: 1020SundownWay,Ste150 1020 Sundown Way, Ste 150 HIGH PERFORMANCE HIGH PERFORMANCE

pogee Alta and Ascent cameras are designed for a wide range of demanding scientifi c applications. In Ascent, we have reduced the size and cost of our electronics and housings, while at the same time maintaining the key features of our popular Alta Series cameras. Weve added high-speed 16-bit electronics and some new sensors with resolutions up to 16 megapixels.The larger Alta cameras offer lower noise and deeper cooling than the Ascent cameras. They also support very high quantum effi ciency back-illuminated CCDs. For both camera series, the direct USB 2.0 link between camera and computer allows easy installation, portability and fast data transfer rate. Ascent maintains compatibility with our Alta ActiveX drivers, as well as Linux and Mac OS X drivers. CE compliance We supply the best price/performance in the industry. Researchers rely on Apogee to provide excellent value for their investment. OEMs rely on Apogee Instruments to make their products more cost effective and competitive. Please contact our sales team for a quotation for any quantity, large or small. We make it easy for you to get started with us. All of our systems run on a single universal software driver. If you integrate control of one Apogee system into your custom software environment, you automatically have support for all of our systems. Based on the feedback we get from our customers, integration is simple and straightforward.
We offer a wide selection of CCDs, from interlines to full frame front-illuminated to back-illuminated, from 512 x 512 up to 4096 x 4096. You can choose from a variety of sizes and shapes, from lowest cost to highest performance, knowing that you can build an entire product line around a single software integration.
Our goal is steady refi nement in every aspect of the cameras, including product consistency, product lifetimes, rapid delivery, ease of adaptation and use, and added hardware and software features. We are proud to announce that we will be ISO compliant by 2007.
Apogee Instruments has a long history of working with OEM customers to modify our product line to fi t their requirements. Perhaps you need to incorporate custom optical elements or to reduce the back focal distance of the camera. Let us know how we can optimize our cameras to best suit your application.
We can help you choose the right sensor for the job. If we do not already support the sensor that you need, we can discuss adding it to our product line. Once a sensor has been chosen, we provide OEM customers with a system for evaluation. The best way to feel confi dent that our systems are right for you: try one out. ROHS compliance DIVERSITY ADDS STRENGTH ISO-9000 compliance (in process) Since 1993, Apogee Instruments has been manufacturing cooled
CCD cameras for scientifi c applications. Our cameras are now used in more than 50 countries, from government and private research laboratories to the best of world-class professional observatories. Apogee cameras have been used for a wide variety of applications,
including spectroscopic analysis of water, soil, and gems; detection of anthrax; development of methods and technologies for detection of land mines and improvised explosive devices (IEDs); analysis and detection of contaminants at nuclear reactors; imaging of fi ngerprints without chemicals; x-ray inspection of car parts; fl uorescent imaging of cell tissues and microtitre plates; munitions testing; laser beam profi ling; poacher surveillance; mammography; optics testing; discovery of thousands of astronomical objects; and radiometry of a wide variety of light sources.
By expanding into broad markets with diverse demands, Apogee has had to develop a wide variety of technologies to solve our customers problems. Our astronomy and spectroscopy customers demand low noise, high sensitivity, and high quantitative accuracy. Our life science customers demand speed and ease of use. All customers groups are constantly pushing for higher performance at lower prices. Ascent and Alta cameras address these demands.
