The gain of an EMCCD system varies with temperature. The graph below shows how the gain multiplication increases
as the temperature decreases. Curves are shown for various software gain settings and the figures are typical values.
So if a system is operated at room temperature it will have reduced gain. Because of this temperature dependence it is
The graph below shows how the EM Gain setting on the software is related to the actual electron multiplication factor for
various temperature settings and again the figures are typical. It is recommended that the system is cooled, so that the
temperature, and hence the gain, is stabilized.
