Pixel Binning for Improved Sensitivity

Pixel Binning for Improved Sensitivity

12 Oct 2015

Pixel binning is a process that further enhances sensitivity of a CCD sensor in terms of the speed of image acquisition. This process involves taking square groups of pixels and combining them into one ‘super’ pixel, capable of holding much more light. This has the effect of reducing required exposure times. It is however important to realize that the drawback of pixel binning is a reduction in image resolution. This application note explains the different types of pixel binning available, to maximize speed of image collection whilst maintaining the quality of your images.

G:BOX Chemi XRQ

GeneDirectory

Syngene

Band pattern analysis database GeneDirectory is a fast data storage and retrieval system designed for large-scale genomic fingerprinting studies, cluster analysis, VNTR analysis, genotyping and RFLP. Used in conjunction with the GeneTools gel analysis package, this combination is the most powerful and user-friendly comparison tool available today, saving you hours of repetitive work by automatically comparing thousands of bands on different gels. Compiled using the latest databasing technology, GeneDirectory benefits from a very powerful database structure. This gives the user complete control over data stored and retrieved. Other packages which claim to be able to perform gel comparisons or track databasing often have limited function database structures, lacking much of the versatility found in GeneDirectory.
