The DTA Electra is the first DTA CCD camera having the USB connection, able to perform high sensitivity and
fast image downloading at a low cost.

News: increased the readout speed up to 420 kpix/s!!!

These are the attractive specifications:

- USB connection to the PC.

- Powered by a 13.8 V (for battery operation)
- Back- and front-illuminated sensors (by Kodak and e2v technologies).
- Full-Frame and, sooner available, Interline architecture.
- Fast 16 bit A/D Converter at variable gain.
- Slow 16 bit A/D Converter for very high dynamic range.
- Deep cooling with big double stage Peltier (> 50 °C DT)
- Large fan, with programmable rotational running (optimised with your application)
- Advanced user port for automation and camera synchronization
- Compact size.
- Reduced weight and dimensions.

Electra is thought as a modular camera: you can fit your system to your requirements adding the 230/115V
Power Supply, the electromechanical shutter and the lens adapter.

Among the main application fields: Biology, Astronomy, Plasma Physics, Semiconductor Physics.
