The PyLoN 256 deep cooled. CCD spectroscopy camera is available in two varities. The PyloN 256E is a front-illuminated CCD with open electrode architecture that improves sensitivity over conventional front-illuminated devices, with no etaloning. The Pylon 256BR is back-illuminated CCD with deep depletion. It provides high QE in the near-IR with minimal etaloning.

PyLoN Family Overview
Cryogenic cooling
Cooled to -120 °C. Delivers ultralow dark current, ≤1 e⁻/pix/h, for exposure times of minutes to hours
Dual amplifier redout design
High sensitivity amplifier reduces read noise for weak signals, and the high capacity amplifier offering increased effective dynamic range
Improved linearity
Provides exceptional read noise performance below 1 MHz, a constant baseline for multiple exposure and long integration time applications.
