Choosing the Appropriate Camera “Resolving” the Application
The Appropriate Camera • If you know the application AND the product, you will win every time • If you know either the application or the product, you may win half the time • If don’t know either, you will lose
How do I Select the Correct Product? • Guess • Pick The Cheapest • Pick the Most Expensive • Call Scott Monroe • “Resolve” the Application
Resolving the Application: Provide the Appropriate Resolution for the Application
Appropriate “Resolution” Spatial Temporal Intensity
Spatial Resolution Spatial
Spatial Resolution Size of pixels ? 0.61 . Mag = 2 pixels 100 x 1.3 NA N.A.
Spatial Resolution Number of pixels Field of View !!
Temporal Resolution Temporal
Temporal Resolution • What is your “Real Time” • How much light do you have in a given time interval?Considerations: • Digitizer Readout Rate • CCD Architecture • Quantum Efficiency • Read Noise
Temporal Resolution Small Array Size Interline Region of Interest Frame Transfer
Temporal Resolution e e ICCD
Intensity Resolution Intensity
Intensity Resolution • Dim and Bright sources within the same Image • Measure small differences in Intensities • Measure small Fluctuations on a large background Dynamic Range
Intensity Resolution Signal Mapping to the ADC 4095 Gray Values 0 20,000 40,000 80,000 electrons
