stoft "Yes, resolution is affected by slit width; though much less than the intensity change which is related to the square area. I'd had some success in ..." | Read more » about 10 years ago
stoft "Pascal, Thanks. Hope my posted note on HDR2 is readable. Just a thought on the 'stepped-slit'. I constructed a number of them with the idea of for..." | Read more » about 10 years ago
stoft "Agreed, there is more than enough work here for two highly motivated contributors. On your HDR example above, two observations: I think there is s..." | Read more » about 10 years ago
stoft "Sreyanth, Don't give up so easily; I think Pascal has described an enormous amount of work. I'd suggest some collaboration is warranted and everyo..." | Read more » about 10 years ago
stoft "Jeff, Specific to data/analysis, post-processing can only as good as the source data. This is why I'm focused on first getting that data; other thi..." | Read more » about 10 years ago
stoft "Sreyanth - Yes, off-line is a valuable capability as it frees the user from the internet and it allows independent capture and retention of spectra..." | Read more » about 10 years ago
stoft "Chris, I just looked around at some of the posted spectra and I think I see the source of the issue you raised. The posted spectra images are NOT f..." | Read more » about 10 years ago
stoft "Chris, I suspect there is more attenuation gradient to be gleaned from the images than first meets the eye (as there was more than I'd suspected in..." | Read more » about 10 years ago
stoft "Not sure what is mounted to what in the 3D image above, but the two camera mounting methods are different: 1) "in convergent beam" - grating parall..." | Read more » about 10 years ago
stoft "Just a few thoughts, Yes, there may well be some "glowing" (refraction) effect of the substance as the light shines through it, but I think that's ..." | Read more » over 10 years ago
stoft "Jeff, nice experiment. Yes, UV is the right choice -- the shorter the wavelength the better. I'm assuming that the UV-light 'reference' was with wa..." | Read more » over 10 years ago
stoft "Just a suggestion, but research is all about discovery -- I highly recommend that process. A 30-sec Google search found this(below) but in 10 minut..." | Read more » over 10 years ago
stoft "Yes, I could print a couple sheets but it would be best to decide on the best pattern and density if you're looking to send something along the lin..." | Read more » over 10 years ago
stoft "Yes, I ink-jet printed on 'Grafix' transparency film (not the adhesive version)-- it's available on-line via Amazon. It's reasonably stiff in small..." | Read more » over 10 years ago
stoft "I see your point. I just wonder about having only a single attenuation step which could make it difficult to find the best level; a case of too lit..." | Read more » over 10 years ago
stoft "Ok, interesting idea. The extension to this is a continuously variable attenuator and let the detection algorithm pick the line w/max signal but w/..." | Read more » over 10 years ago
stoft "I'd agree that giving more visibility the the clipping issue would be good and this is a simple, cheap tool. However, I don't quite follow your 2-s..." | Read more » over 10 years ago
stoft "Interesting experiments. Just be careful of the word "enhancement" as it is imprecise within this technical realm. Yes, averaging is useful (assumi..." | Read more » over 10 years ago
