PrimeEnhance™ - 2D Active Image Denoising

There are several sources of noise when imaging faint signal levels which can affect the Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) of your measurement, the main types being dark noise, read noise and shot noise. Camera manufacturers make design choices to minimize the presence of noise in the image and to maximize the quality and SNR of the collected images. Dark Noise is reduced by cooling the sensor, and read noise is minimized through sensor performance and electronic design. This application note demonstrates how PrimeEnhance improves the signal to noise ratio, improving the quality of images and data.
