PyLoN 2K deep cooled CCD spectroscopy camera is available in three varieties. The PyloN 2KB excelon has a back-illuminated CCD with eXcelon technology providing enhanced sensitivity in the UV and the NIR with low etaloning. The Pylon 2KB version has a back-illuminated CCD and provides high sensitivity in both the visible and the ultraviolet. The special BUV option offers the highest sensitivity in the UV but is subject to etaloning in the NIR.

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.
