Review Summary
The standard Falcon III merits evaluation for a photon-limited optical measurement where the documented sensor and acquisition arrangement meet the experiment. Electron multiplication addresses a readout-noise regime, but it does not create missing optical information or guarantee a correct quantitative measurement. Evaluate the actual signal and background with a preserved calibration.
Integration and Selection
The cited 2022 sheet lists 31 Hz at full image. Older catalog or brochure descriptions use other figures, so confirm the delivered configuration and output mode rather than combining revisions. Exposure, region, binning and receiving also change the acquisition. Test actual trigger timing and sustained Camera Link delivery with the measurement software and retained data.
