Apx60
↳ Large format CMOS sensor
↳ Ultra-clean long exposures
The Apx60 is built to deliver sensitivity, detail, and precision for the most demanding scientific, astronomical, and industrial applications. Equipped with the Sony IMX455 CMOS sensor, the Apx60 offers an impressive 9576 × 6388 resolution over a full-frame 43.3 mm sensor diagonal, capturing expansive fields of view with extraordinary clarity.
For professionals who demand nothing less than the best – whether in faint object astronomy or space domain awareness (SDA) – the Apx60 stands as a powerful, future-ready imaging platform.
Every pixel of the Apx60 is optimized for performance. With a 3.76 μm pixel size and a full well capacity of 51,000 electrons, the camera combines incredible resolution with a wide dynamic range. This ensures that both faint signals and bright structures are captured faithfully, without compromise.
Its low read noise performance (as low as 1.2 e- in High Gain Mode) is critical for detecting the faintest objects in the darkest conditions, while its dark current of 0.002 e-/s/px at -15°C supports ultra-long exposures up to 24 hours with exceptional stability.
The Apx60 features advanced thermoelectric cooling, lowering sensor temperature 35°C below ambient. This capability ensures that thermal noise remains negligible, even during marathon imaging sessions.
The Apx60 ensures repeatable, stable performance under challenging conditions.
The solid build ensures longevity, while its compact form factor keeps installation straightforward.
