Noise level are pixels, which have a very high signal value and derive from dust
or other particles, which gave a high fluorescent signal. These pixels will be
excluded for the calculation. For the right gain settings only all pixels in the signal
level area will be consulted. Please keep in mind that only percentage of all pixels
can be selected and not different signal values.
