cooledkameror
Cooled cameras, or cooledkameror, are digital imaging devices whose sensor is actively cooled to suppress thermally generated noise. The cooling reduces dark current and other temperature-dependent noise sources, allowing longer exposure times and improved sensitivity in low-light conditions. Most cooled cameras use sensors such as CCDs or CMOS, and the cooling system is designed to keep the sensor well below ambient temperature.
Cooling is typically achieved with thermoelectric coolers (Peltier devices), often combined with heatsinks and sometimes liquid
Applications for cooledkameror include astronomy and astrophotography, where long exposures and faint signals require very low
Limitations of cooledkameror include higher cost, greater power consumption, and increased system complexity. They require careful
