Tender description
The objective is to acquire a camera that meets specific technical and performance requirements to enable high-resolution photon counting in the visible behind a coronagraph with high efficiency to enable precise high speed wavefront control for research in high contrast imaging and direct imaging of exoplanets for ground-based telescopes and future space-based telescopes such as Habitable World Observatory. The camera is also required to interface with Linux and other computer operating systems out of the box.
