Model: Trius-PRO-814-MonoPart Number: 100-0057
The TRIUS range of cameras were the first on the market to incorporate a powered USB 2.0 hub in the rear of the camera to enable the user to connect their USB filter wheel and guide-camera directly to the camera, rather than multiple cables back to the computer, for simplicity and convenience.
The new Blue Edition TRIUS PRO series follows on from that success. Starlight Xpress has redesigned the electronics to give even lower read-noise figures and faster downloads. With the Sony CCD cameras, we are now getting read-noise figures better than CMOS cameras (when used at unity gain), with 16-bit data and a significantly better dark-noise figure thanks to the impressive cooling. Dark frames really are a thing of the past, making calibration frames optional rather than compulsory, giving you more time to capture data and process your images.
The Trius PRO-814 is a higher-resolution version of the popular Trius PRO 694 camera. It has a similarly high QE and low thermal noise but offers 9.19 megapixels of resolution. Each pixel is 3.69 x 3.69 uM in size. This high resolution makes the 814 particularly well suited to the super-fast short-focus 'scopes and 'Hyperstar' systems that are now widely used. The new 'Trius' version adds a triple USB hub and Argon-filled CCD chamber.
It is wonderful CCD (No hot pixels). Using this CCD specially for spectroscopy for best possible resolution with Alpy600/LHIRESIII spectroscopes. https://twitter.com/CepheidI/status/1323989181492686848/photo/1
