Features & Functionality
3.8.1 - OptAcquire modes
Pre-denedOptAcquiremodesinclude:
Sensitivity & Speed (EM Amplier)
Optimized for capturing weak signal at fast frame rates, with single
photon sensitivity. Suited to the majority of EMCCD applications.
Dynamic Range & Speed
(EM Amplier)
Congured to deliver optimal dynamic range at fast frame rates.
Moderate EM gain applied.
Fastest Frame Rate (EM amplier) For when it’s all about speed! Optimized for absolute fastest frame rates
of the camera. Especially effective when combined with sub-array/
binning selections.
Time Lapse (EM Amplier) Congured to capture low light images with time intervals between
exposures. Overlap ('frame transfer') readout is deactivated.
Time Lapse & Short Exposures
(EM Amplier)
Congured to minimize vertical smear when using exposure < 3ms.
EMCCD Highest Dynamic Range
(EM amplier)
Combines EMCCD low light detection with the absolute highest dynamic
range that the camera can deliver. Since this requires slower readout,
frame rate is sacriced.
CCD Highest Dynamic Range (Conventional Amplier Optimized for slow scan CCD detection with highest available dynamic
range. Recommended for brighter signals OR when it is possible to
apply long exposures to overcome noise oor
Photon Counting Conguration recommended for photon counting with individual
exposures < 10sec.
Photon Counting with Long Exposures (> 10 sec) Conguration recommended for photon counting with individual
exposures > 10sec.
