The Alta U16M by Apogee uses a very large format 16-megapixel full frame sensor with microlensing and anti-blooming gates, and is
ideal for applications requiring large field of view, such as sky surveys and radiology.
The Alta U Series has so many improvements in such a small package! No more external controllers, plug-in cards, or frame
grabbers. Dual digitization for high precision plus high speed focus. On-board camera memory for fast local sequences and no
worries about transfer interruptions. Time delayed integration for imaging far beyond the size of the sensor. A single 12V power
input for optional battery-powered operation.

requires payment in full at the time of order. This pre-payment is required regardless of whether the camera is readily available
or there is a lead-time, since WHCT is required to pay the full amount due when we place your order.
If you'd like to order this camera without prepaying, that's not a problem, but the price will be a bit higher. To find out what
the price would be, you can call WHCT at 1-888-427-8766 or email our
, and we will provide pricing and lead times, if any.
