3. Features and Functions 3.1. Camera Introduction The Dhyana 401D camera features a compact design that is well-suited for integration into instrument systems, achieving efficient coordination between hardware and software. With a readout noise as low as 2 electrons, it ensures image signal-to-noise and accuracy. The pixel size is perfectly matched with high numerical aperture microscope objectives, making it an ideal choice for both scientific research and industrial inspection.
3.3. Shutter Mode The 401D camera uses a rolling shutter readout mode. In this mode, the camera reads out rows sequentially, with consistent exposure time for each row, but different starting exposure time Technical Support Email: service@tucsen.com TEL: +86-591-28055080-818 Fax: +86-591-28055080-826...
Accurate measurement of readout noise is usually achieved by capturing multiple dark field images under no light and the shortest exposure conditions, then calculating the temporal standard deviation for each pixel. Technical Support Email: service@tucsen.com TEL: +86-591-28055080-818 Fax: +86-591-28055080-826...
It is not recommended to use the DPC function for these applications or to use only the weakest correction level. The Dhyana 401D adopts dynamic defective pixel correction, correcting using a 3x3 matrix of pixels. Currently, four correction levels are available, each corresponding to different thresholds, thereby controlling the intensity of defective pixel correction.
In dark field or low-light conditions, bias variations can be measured by the DSNU mentioned in Technical Support Email: service@tucsen.com TEL: +86-591-28055080-818 Fax: +86-591-28055080-826...

The High Gain (HG) mode has lower readout noise and is suitable for imaging scenarios with weaker signals. 3.8.3. Low Gain The Low Gain (LG) mode has a higher full well capacity, making it suitable for imaging scenarios with strong signals.
