>>自適應光學

糾正由于大氣折射率的變化導致的波前誤差，否則大氣湍流將很大的影響天文觀測上限

Kestrel 1000

Digital Monochrome Scientific Frame Transfer EMCCD, 1,800 fps, 128 x 128, 24μm x 24μm pixels, cooled to -20C .

The digital Kestrel EMCCD camera is based on e2v’s CCD-60 back-thinned 1/3″ sensor. It combines high sensitivity, speed and resolution. with QE up to 95%. It has strong response from UV through to NIR. With EM gain on it offers less than 1 electron read noise. It uses a 16 bit A/D converter and offers a standard CameraLink output. At 1,800 fps, it offers some of the fastest and most sensitive speeds available on the market.
