Page 6: Qe Graph & Read Noise
ASI2600 Manual 4. QE Graph & Read Noise QE and Read noise are the most important parts to measure the performance of a camera. Higher QE and Lower read noise are needed to improve the SNR of an image. For ASI2600MC Pro, the QE peak value is above 80%. For ASI2600MM Pro, the QE peak value is around 91%. - Page 7 ASI2600 Manual...
