With its 13 μm pixel size and 100,000 electron full well capacity, the TE-47 excels at capturing signals across a deep dynamic range, ensuring both the faintest details and the brightest structures are faithfully represented..

The TE-47 is equipped with a thermoelectric (TE) cooling system capable of achieving a 40°C delta below ambient temperature. This ensures thermal noise remains suppressed even in warm environments, making it suitable for both laboratory and field use.

Unlike extreme cooling systems that require additional infrastructure, TE cooling provides an efficient, low-maintenance solution. Users benefit from consistent performance across long sessions, with the stability needed for repeatable results.

The TE-47 includes an optional physical shutter, enabling precise frame control and minimizing motion artifacts. This is especially valuable for synchronized imaging in multi-camera systems, fast acquisition scenarios, where exposure timing is critical and calibration workflows, such as dark frame subtraction.

By combining CCD sensitivity with a hardware shutter, the TE-47 delivers a level of temporal control not always possible with modern CMOS sensors.

The 100,000 electron full well capacity ensures that the TE-47 can handle bright and faint regions within the same frame without saturation. This is essential in high-contrast scenarios, such as:

Thanks to the inherent uniformity of the e2v CCD 47-10 sensor, users benefit from exceptional image stability across temperature ranges, reducing the need for frequent recalibration.
