Shelley Brankner is an Applications Engineer specializing in scientific cameras and x-ray imaging products. For customers that need high-level synchronization between their camera and peripheral devices, she can provide the expertise on timing and modes of operation in these imaging products. She has a passion for asking the question, “How does that work?” and a desire for sharing the answer with others. When she isn’t knocking down the technical questions that cross her path, she can be found knocking down pins at a bowling alley.
Q: I captured an image of the same sample with two cameras, but the output data from Camera A is overall a higher number than Camera B. Does that mean that Camera B is detecting less light?
A: Not necessarily. There are many parameters that go into designing a camera that affect the output number given the same input photons. Each model of camera, even if it uses the same sensor, may have the parameters adjusted differently, resulting in a different output count per detected photon…Read more
