Signal integration, on-target

For detection of very low light signals, it will be required to extend the number of delays, i.e. the period of "on target" signal integration. In such case the dark noise may be minimized by cooling the OMA. 

Figure 5. Line profile of the Hg line (546 nm). Detector is the same as in Figure 1. The on-target signal integration was 16.67 ms.

Figure 2. Efficiency ofplasma background subtraction. Key a, emission spectrum of 1 pg/mL Be, 1% HNOy b, emission spectrum of 1% HNO blank and c, difference spectrum obtained by subtracting Spectrum b from a. Spectra were obtained after on-target signal integration for 8 s.

Both the integral membrane proteins of peroxisomes as well as the peroxisomal matrix proteins are synthesised on free polyribosomes and are specifically targeted to peroxisomes via dedicated peroxisomal targeting signals. The biogenesis of peroxisomes follows a sequential pattern, which involves first the insertion of peroxisomal membrane proteins into the membrane of the pre-peroxisomal structure, derived from the endoplasmic reticulum, followed by insertion of the various matrix proteins. 

If it is conservatively assumed that 50% of the A/D converter range (14 bits) can be used for dark charge, then possible signal integration times (on-target) are ... 

Total signal integrated on-target is 15050 counts/diode.
