The PyLoN is a liquid nitrogen (LN2) cooled CCD camera achieving -120°C sensor temperatures for the absolute lowest dark current and maximum sensitivity in long-exposure applications. Its back-illuminated, eXcelon-enhanced CCD sensors deliver >95% peak quantum efficiency with deep-depletion options for enhanced NIR performance. The gold-standard choice for demanding spectroscopy requiring hours-long integrations.
Key Features
- LN2 cooling to -120°C for near-zero dark current
- Back-illuminated CCD with eXcelon enhancement
- Peak QE >95% (>98% with eXcelon)
- Ultra-low read noise <3 e- rms
- Deep-depletion option for NIR sensitivity
- 10+ hour LN2 hold time
- USB 2.0 interface
Applications
- Long-integration spectroscopy
- NIR Raman spectroscopy
- Photoluminescence of quantum materials
- Single-molecule spectroscopy
