New PyLoN-IR, Controllerless, Liquid Nitrogen Cooled Spectroscopy Camera Has Fastest Spectral Rate and Reduced Dark Current
Princeton Instruments introduced the PyLoN®-IR, controllerless, cryogenically cooled CCD camera for spectroscopy. The PyLoN-IR is a linear InGaAs photodiode array camera and is designed for quantitative near-infrared and short-wavelength infrared applications that demand the highest possible sensitivity, including photoluminescence and Raman spectroscopy. PyLoN-IR replaces PI's OMA V InGaAs detector linear photodiode array camera. PyLoN-IR's liquid nitrogen cooling greatly reduces dark current that occurs from thermal energy.
