Applications & selection
ATR992M applications
Dust and haze penetration imaging
Longer-wavelength response can reveal targets and structures that are difficult to distinguish in visible light alone.
Occultation and transient observation
Global-shutter capture and precise timing support synchronized observations of short astronomical events.
Laboratory InGaAs imaging
Suitable for scientific SWIR experiments, beam observation and quantitative imaging where a cooled camera is required.
When to choose this camera
Choose the ATR992M when your telescope and target benefit from 1/1.4-inch, 9.2 × 7.6 mm sensor coverage, 3.45 µm sampling, two-stage TEC, ΔT ≈30 °C and 400–1700 nm response.
