What are the normal, binning and dezingering detector options?
• Binning combines the readout of 4 pixels into one pixel, resulting in a larger dynamic range and better signal-to-noise characteristics. Although binning degrades somewhat the spatial resolution, this is not an issue (the source and sample are the main contributors to the spot size). Because non-binning produces large files ( 70 MB), only binning mode is so far allowed for the Quantum-315 detector. There is no binning/unbinning option for the MAR CCD detector. • Dezingering rejects spurious spots on the detector (e.g. from cosmic rays) by splitting the total exposure between two images; pixels with similar intensity values for the two images are averaged; pixels with very different values are set to the smallest value. Dezingering should be used for exposure times that are longer than 20 seconds.
