New Product Release
Model ST-6B
Low Dark Current Version
September, 1997

SBIG has improved the thermoelectric cooling in the Model ST-6 CCD Imaging Camera by an additional 8 deg. C. Since the dark current is reduced approximately one half with each 8 degrees C reduction this represents a significant improvement in dark current. This will be of particular interest to customers imaging low surface brightness galaxies or imaging against a dark background such as in Raman Spectroscopy. The new Model ST-6B can be operated 55 deg. C below ambient. There are no other changes in the configuration or operating characteristics of this outstanding product.

All Model ST-6 CCD Imaging Cameras shipped after October 1997 will include this new feature and will be specified as Model ST-6B. The U.S. List Price will be $2750.
