A8. Yes. However, for narrow band imaging a monochrome CCD is better because each pixel sees the filtered signal. But binning the color CCD 2×2 and using it as a monochrome narrow band imager is possible albeit with somewhat lower sensitivity than the monochrome version. Q9. What is the price of the color version of the ST-2000XM? A9. Please see our current Price List. Q10. When will this camera be available? A10. It is available now. Production began in March 2004. Q11. Do you plan to add any other color CCD cameras to your line up? A11. Yes. We have also added the STL-4020CM using the 4 megapixel KAI-4020CM CCD as an option to the Research Series cameras. It will be the same price as the monochrome model. There is also the STL-11000CM, an 11 Megapixel, 35mm format color version of the KAI-11000M.
