Question

Does the uScopeGX scan faster than the uScopeMXII/uScopeHXII models?

Answer

No. The uScopeGX scans slower than the uScopeMX/HX products. There are several reasons for this:

• The pixel mapping of the camera on the uScopeGX is such that each pixel represents a smaller area, so more pixels are required.
• The uScopeGX platform is larger and therefore requires more settle time.
• The camera exposure time is longer for polarized images since the image is darker.
