Pixel size

During the calibration the geometric distortions in the images are reduced from a maximum of more than 11 pixels to less than 0.3 pixels (pixel size about 0.28mm 0.28mm). The whole calibration results in a maximum deviation of the projected calibration marks from the measured calibration marks in the image of less than 0.4 pixel (2D-error). 

The detector setup consists of four 256 x 256 pixel amorphous silicon technology sensor flat panels with 0.75 x 0.75 mm pixel size, having an active area of 192 x 192 mm [5j. These sensors are radiation sensitive up to 25 MeV and therefor well suited for detecting the LINAC radiation. The four devices are mounted onto a steel Irame each having the distance of one active area size from the other. With two vertical and two horizontal movements of the frame it is possible to scan a total area of about 0.8 x 0.8 m with 1024 x 1024 pixel during four independent measurements. 

The inherent unsharpness of the IP-ND was measured by NR of sharp Gd edge object and using Klasens method. It was evaluated to be about 0.280mm, significantly greater than the pixel size (0.1mm). The corresponding value of the best vapour... 

Typically the throughput amounted 30-50 images/hour for a pixel matrix of 2000x2500. The scanner was controlled by a PC with menu oriented software. Important parameters such as pixel size and PMT amplification could be adjusted easily. 

Other limitation for the spatial resolution can be found in the detector. A limited number of pixels in the camera array can be a reason for pure resolution in the case of a big field of view. For example, if field of view should be 10 by 10 nun with camera division 512x512 pixels the pixel size will be approximately 20 microns. To improve the relation of the field of view and the spatial resolution a mega-pixel sensor can be used. One more limitation for the spatial resolution is in mechanical movement (rotation) of the object, camera and source. In the case of a mechanical movement all displacements and rotations should be done with accuracy better than the spatial resolution in any tested place of the object. In the case of big-size assemblies and PCB s it is difficult to avoid vibrations, axle play and object non-planarity during testing. 

The aehievable spatial resolution is limited by several eflfeets. The first is the maximum gradient strength and eneoding times available. Bearing in mind equation B1.14.1 and = l/A/n, the pixel size resulting from...

The minimum size of the monochrome pixels (we consider color in Section 13.7.3) that can be fabricated using OLEDs is dictated primarily by the ability to pattern the electrode which is deposited on top. OLEDs are not sufficiently robust to withstand the normal processes of photolithography. Among the schemes which have been suggested for high resolution patterning is one in which the substrate is pne-pattemed to provide its own shadow mask [1911. By this means, pixel sizes down to 300 p have been demonstrated, and a lower limit of about 100 p is estimated.

Highest sensitivity to local concentration variations is achieved when the probe size is matched to the pixel size of the map. Figure 5.24(A) is a high magnification map of an edge-on grain boundary with 64 x 64 pixels, acquired at 2 MX with a probe size of 1 nm FWTM and a probe current of 0.5 nA. With a dwell time of 200 ms per pixel, the total frame time for this map was 0.5h. 

For other geometries the center of the scattering pattern, its orientation, the pixel size of the detector and its distance from the sample must be operated first in order to align the scattering pattern.

High resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) micrographies were performed with a JEOL JEM-3010 microscope operating at 300 kV (Cs= 0.6 mm, point resolution 1.7 A). Images were recorded with CCD camera (MultiScan model 794, Gatan, 1024 x 1024 pixels, pixel size 24 x 24 pm2). The powder samples were mixed in ethanol and then ultrasonicated for 10 min. A drop of the wet sample was placed on a copper grid and then allowed to dry for 10 min before TEM analysis.

FNA systems only produce a 2D view with no depth profile. The systems usually have large a pixel size and subsequently a poor image. The pixel size is related to the size of the coUimated incident neutron beam and the spread of the neutron beam while traversing the thickness of the container. 

Doubling the detector diameter (and keeping pixel size fixed) would then further increase the signal-to-noise from 3.2 to 5.4 (Eqs 5 and 6).
