9. 1 5 11 PRECAUTION WHEN USING CMOS IMAGE SENSOR This camera uses scientific CMOS image sensor Careful attention must be paid to the following points when using CMOS image sensor 1 White spot Subjecting CMOS image sensor to extended exposures may cause failure in part of the silicon wafer resulting in white spots Currently this phenomenon is not currently preventable If CMOS image sensor is at a fixed temperature recurrence of the white spot increases proportionally with the exposure time so this can be rectified with dark subtraction Cosmic ray may generate white spot After acquiring an image using a certain exposure time is loaded CMOS image sensor is exposed to darkness for the same amount of time and another image is obtained After this the difference between the images is determined and the data for the dark portion of the original image is nullified 2 Folding distortion A rough edged flicker may be visible when imaging striped patterns lines and similar subject matter 3 Over light Be careful not to input too strong light such as high energy laser A CAUTION into CMOS image sensor because CMOS image sensor may be damaged by over light 50 HAMAMATSU C11440 22CU C11440 22CU01 Instruction manual Ver 1 5 12 MAINTENANCE 12 1 CARE Perform cleaning of this equipment with the dry soft cloth Then the glass window the image sensor should be cleaned according to
