G.4 Step III. Set Exposure Time
When you are ready to capture an image, you will need to select an exposure time.
“Exposure” refers to the integration of image captures on the CCD over a set period
of time. The effect is analogous to exposing photographic film to light.
The exposure time you select should be based on your application and your “best
guess” as to what exposure will give you the best image.
Note: The minimum exposure time in trans illuminated mode is 1 second. The
minimum exposure time in epi illuminated mode is 0.1 second.
You can enter an exposure time (in seconds) directly in the field, or use the Arrow
buttons to adjust the exposure time in 10 percent increments.
