CHAPTER 4 - SYSTEM OPERATION

The detection module controls are marked as Cam1 or Cam2 and are with a vertical line in the chosen
channel color.
The
Exposure Time [ms] is regulated with the slider, input box, and arrows (Fig. 88). The exposure times
need to be synchronized with the scanning of the light sheet to ensure an even illumination of the whole
image field. The software will automatically prevent sub-optimal exposure times and might change the
chosen exposure time to the nearest suitable value.
For very short exposure times, below 10 ms, the image might display artifacts in some cases; these critical
exposure times are displayed in yellow.
When a detection module with liquid cooling is used, the working temperature is displayed below the
Exposure Time.
