Well...actually no, I don't know what you mean.
Any CCD camera that doesn't ice up on first use is "hermetically" sealed....sort of proof really.
Filling the chamber with *dry* nitrogen, argon or any noble gas will also work.
Air will do as well....as long as it's *dry*. Soggy Argon doesn't work
Hence the dessicant plugs SBIG use.
STX's uniquely also have a purge valve, for filling whatever gas takes your fancy, *and* a dessicant cylinder.
The point being.....*dryness* ...OK I've labored it!
Moisture is the problem, not the gas.
