Figure 2
A detector grid (top) and hypothetical one-dimensional I (X-rays pixel−1) versus q profile (bottom) to illustrate the read-noise analysis. The top section shows two q increments, qi and qi+1 (the beamstop is drawn to indicate the selected position of the beam center). The plot at the bottom shows a possible one-dimensional profile resulting from radial integration of an image with no illumination. An ideal detector would measure zero at all q increments. Dashed green lines that run vertically display sectioning of the profile into a range of q increments for calculation of the noise σprofile(qL,qH). The black horizontal dashed line shows the detector global pedestal level (mean value). |
