The QHY27, QHY28 and QHY29 cameras use the latest TRUESENSE interline CCD sensors. These sensors have electronic shutters for very short exposure times. The QHY27 with KAI-16050 CCD is APS-H format. The QHY28 with KAI-16070 CCD and QHY29 with KAI-29050 CCD are full frame (35mm format) CCDs. QHYCCD's anti-dew technology and 2-stage TE cooling enable cooling of the sensor to -45C below ambient. This reduces the dark current to less than 0.05e- at typical operating temperatures.
The KAI−16050 Image Sensor is a 16−megapixel CCD in an APS−H optical format. Based on the TRUESENSE 5.5 micron Interline Transfer CCD Platform, the sensor features broad dynamic range, excellent imaging performance, and a flexible readout architecture. A vertical overflow drain structure suppresses image blooming and enables electronic shuttering for precise exposure control.
