The Infinite 200 PRO luminescence detection system utilizes the single photon
counting measurement technique. This is based on a dedicated luminescence
PMT with appropriate measurement circuitry. This technique is very robust
against noise. It is preferred for measurement of very low light levels.
For best performance it is recommended to use white plates for luminescence
measurements. For details see 5.9 Optimizing Luminescence Measurements.
