Dwell Time Adds - Biophysical Optical Readout and Metrology Step by Step

Exposure time is a checked schedule before interpretation. Exact arithmetic here means exact results for the stated model inputs; measured inputs still carry uncertainty and significant-figure limits.

highlighted = computed this step

The scan has a checked field count

The scan uses 4 optical fields.

N_{\text{fields}}=4

Total exposure time is fields times dwell

Each field has dwell time 5 s, so total exposure time is 20 s.

t_{\text{total}}=4t_{\text{dwell}}=20\ \text{s}
