Mosaic II CCDs

Here are some test data for the Mosaic II CCDs, as measured by Tom Wolfe in the NOAO/Tucson CCD Lab. All have excellent CTE, dark rate less than 1 e-/pix/hour at -90C, and charge injection of 1-2 electrons if a reverse vertical clear is done prior to integration. When reading the QE figures, remember that the 4-m prime focus corrector does not transmit below 3300A.
