INTRODUCING “ IKON-XL 231 ANDOR company Extreme performance, no hassle... Andor’s iKon-XL is a TE-cooled, very large area CCD camera platform, accommodating large field of view sensors that are ideally suited to long exposure astronomy applications. Patent-pending ColdSpace™ technology thermoelectrically cools a back-illuminated 16.8 Megapixel sensor (Teledyne e2v) down to -100 0C, avoiding the requirement for liquid nitrogen or unreliable cryo coolers. Extended Dynamic Range technology is complemented by up to 18-bit digitization. Flexible connectivity is standard through either USB 3.0 or a...

ANDOR an Oxford Instruments company FEATURES “ & BENEFITS Feature Benefit A defect is counted as a white spot if the dark generation rate is > 5 eVpixel/s at 173 K (also White spots equivalent to > 100 eVhour at 153 K). The temperature dependence is the same for the mean dark signal A trap causes charge to be temporarily held in a pixel and these are counted as defects if the quantity of trapped charge is greater than 200 e- Column defects A column is counted as a defect if it contains at least 100 white or dark single pixel defects Black spots A black spot defect is a pixel with a photo-response...
