3.8.1 - OptAcquire modes
Pre-dened OptAcquire modes include:
Sensitivity and Speed (EM Amplier)
Optimized for capturing weak signal at fast frame rates with single photon
sensitivity. Suited to the majority of EMCCD applications.
Dynamic Range and Speed
(EM Amplier)
Congured to deliver optimal dynamic range at moderately fast frame
rates. Moderate EM Gain applied.
Fastest Frame Rate (EM amplier)
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 Amplier)
Congured to capture low-light images with time intervals between
exposures. Overlap (‘frame transfer’) readout is deactivated.
Time Lapse and Short Exposures
(EM Amplier)
Congured to minimize vertical smear when using exposure < 3ms.
EMCCD Highest Dynamic Range
(EM amplier)
Combines EMCCD low-light detection with the absolute highest dynamic
range that the camera can deliver. Since this requires slower readout,
frame rate is sacriced.
CCD Lowest Noise / Slow readout (Conventional Amplier)
Optimized for slow scan CCD detection with lowest noise oor.
Recommended for long exposure applications where slow readout can be
tolerated.
CCD Highest Dynamic Range (Conventional Amplier)
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.
CCD noise / readout balance (Conventional Amplier)
Optimized for slow scan CCD detection, achieving a balance between
noise oor and readout time.
Photon Counting
Conguration recommended for photon counting with individual exposures
< 10sec.
Photon Counting with Long Exposures (> 10 sec)
Conguration recommended for photon counting with individual exposures
> 10sec.
